TACKLING COVID LIKE A BOSS!

I was honoured to have caught some time with Amal Shabib, one of the best-respected Senior Executives at the highest levels of the region’s corporate world. This is a fascinating insight from one of the top business minds into using a strategic business-like approach to tackle the threat of Covid-19 at home.

With a formidable reputation in the region for understanding every angle of a challenge, then applying innovation, logic and strategy to deliver solutions, it is no surprise that Amal Shabib has been the brains behind deals worth hundreds of millions of dollars. When it comes to getting large corporations running like a finely-tuned efficient machine, Amal is the woman with the structured and strategic mindset that has made it happen.

In a rare interview, Amal, herself a mother and proud young grandmother, answers our questions on how ordinary mothers can quite literally ‘tackle Covid like a boss’, using the strategies that she applies in the corporate world.

What is the main challenge or problem that mothers face in the home as they try to keep it a virus-free environment?

There are obviously several challenges to keeping your home virus-free, but fundamentally I think the biggest challenge for mothers is monitoring all movements in and out of the house. Because of the nature of the virus, and how easily it can spread, mothers need to have their eyes in 10 places at the same time so they are aware of what is being bought into the home from outside. (Not that it was any different before, it’s just with a new dimension this time!)

How can busy modern mothers get control of all these challenges?
