Off Track: Leadership, Virtue and Life L...

Luca Allam
About this episode

Welcome to a special bonus episode of Luca’s Insight Track. In this 'Off Track' edition, it was inspired by my conversation with the MENA region's number 1 telco guru, the former CEO of Du, Osman Sultan. Osman was the perfect guest to kick off season 4, with insights on leadership, the telco industry, and most importantly, - life lessons from someone that has amassed incredible experience and wisdom.

In this raw and improvised ‘Off Track’ episode, I talk about the role of virtue and balance in leadership and our lives, how surrendering influence, just like Osman is the key to gaining deeper wisdom and knowledge, and that accountability and responsibility remain the hallmarks of a great leader - something that remains absent on the global political stage. Talking to people like Osman only reinforces why I set up this podcast in the first place, there has never been a more important time to ask the right questions, to listen intently on the information, and to open up the pathway that can lead to deeper fulfillment and personal development.

In this unfiltered and improvised episode, I also share my personal insights that continue to shape who I am. So, If you’re wanting to listen to a real human sharing honest and open views on important subject matter, these weekly Off Track episodes are something to keep a look out for.
