   Why do you think good management is
   important for your organization?
   Management is responsible for restructuring the foundation of any organization. Therefore, the quality and effectiveness of management depend on clear goals, which in turn reflect on the employees' understanding of their roles and responsibilities, whether in the short or long term. Thus, the presence of good management is important because it has a sound belief, clear vision, and mission that directly impact the employees and their ability to achieve the desired goals, whether they are internal or strategic goals at the organizational level.

   To what extend does the organization depend
   more on planning or intuition in taking
   decisions?
   To be a successful group, you need to plan. If you don't have a plan or forget to plan, you might fail. It's impossible for a group with long-term goals to work without a plan. So, doing things randomly won't make you successful. Sometimes, you can't follow the plan exactly because things might change, like data, situations, management, or what you want to do. In those cases, you use your gut feeling. For example, if our plan today is to make 500 tons more, but because of things like the COVID-19 sickness or a war nearby, it affects how much we can make. In that case, we can change the plan and it's important to make choices to reach our goal.

   Why do you think innovation is important for
   your organization? And which actions do you
   take o ensure high levels of innovation?
   Innovation is about producing new things in the organization that help accomplish tasks in a better, faster, easier, and cost-effective way. For example, if there are daily, weekly, or monthly tasks in a company, innovation can come from someone who suggests using artificial intelligence to accomplish some tasks. Instead of using two people to complete one task, only one person is needed.

   Why do you think high levels of customer
   satisfaction is essential for your organization's
   survival? And which actions do you take on the
   ground?
   In general, customers are a reflection of the quality of service, the speed of service, and the speed of delivering the product you provide. If a customer is not satisfied with the service, they will naturally go to another product or another company. This will cause short-term and long-term losses. One day, you may find yourself in a situation where the part you are working on is closed because it is not repeated. Customers have the freedom to choose, so if you do not provide excellent service that meets their requirements or budget

   What are the typical rewards and challenges in
   your managerial job?
   / For me, I am in a team with different nationalities, including Indians, Pakistanis, Filipinos, and Omanis. This is also one of the challenges as each person has a different background and high level of expertise. We have employees with 25 years of experience and others with only a month or no experience at all. There are many reasons why they may not be satisfied, such as salary, job tasks, job title, or the team they are working with. One of the most important points is motivation, so how can we motivate them effectively

   Why do you think planning could be important
   for your organization?
   When we talk about why planning is important, it is because when we make a plan, the boss or the manager will look at it and decide if it is good or not. Every important task will have a certain score, for example, this task is very important. If we do it, it will make a big difference in the plan and the manager will focus on tasks that will give us a lot of benefits. Things that won't give us a lot of benefits, like an opportunity, will not be used. If there is an opportunity, we will use it. If there is no opportunity, we won't use it. The boss will focus on important things.
