The revolutionary road of GBI & ATAI




The power of any individual is at its maximum when he's youthful. Governments and entities are starting to act according to this belief and giving youth the proper opportunity to rise and shine. The only advantage that older people have over youth is their experience and wise decisions, and to that some have found the perfect solution. As great minds think alike, GBI and ATAI have cooperated to achieve a revolutionary solid step in the world of business. GBI was established in December 2008 to address a market opportunity. The opportunity was to deploy and manage a subsea cable system that connects the Gulf countries together and provides onward connectivity to the rest of the world. The opportunity arose from a number of factors, including the lack of diversity and resilience as witnessed by the cable outages at the start of 2008. "Our most recent achievement is actually extending our network from a 14,000 km network to a 40,000 km network. We've assets in Europe, Iraq, the gulf, and Singapore, which makes our network one of the largest. We're shifting from dumb capacity and dumb pipes into more of managed and value-added services and helping the operators realize more cloud-based services"- Amr Eid, CEO of GBI.
GBI is now moving from project launch mode to operation mode, which required change of leadership to new team that can meet the new phase requirements, where complex and innovative products needs to be developed, and new business partnership needs to be forged and finally a long term relationship with clients and partners needs to be nurtured. Entering the operation mode and the subsequent leadership change posed new challenges. Mr. Amr Eid also added that the capacity is no longer the problem, it's the content itself, as kids at home and people everywhere are having fast ethernet and broadband service and they're now working on trying to build purpose-based network that matches the needs of every person deliberately, and the company will achieve that pretty soon.

In order to help the revolutionary step to change the higher and middle management authorities with young people and youth, ATAI has responded to the call and cooperated with GBI to be responsible for the leadership training for the youthful and ambitious talents, to provide them with all the needed tools and skills to have their new position requirements efficiently met. It was a two-day training program, held by Mario Sikora as president of ATAI and Tamer Zanati as an accredited executive coach and trainer by the International coach confederation and vice president of ATAI, the leading consulting firm when it comes to leadership training programs. “I am passionate about helping people flourish. Nothing brings me more joy than to help a client overcome the roadblocks that are limiting them; to overcome old, habitual attitudes or behaviors that reside in the client’s blind spots and work on new strategies for long-term growth.”-Mario Sikora, the president of ATAI. Their clients from well-known and large companies have always praised their programs, and how they excelled their performance tremendously. "Mario's approach is without dogma or personal bias. His use and application of the Enneagram model could not be better-honed for the organization or individual seeking a practical approach to improving their effectiveness in developing highly functional teams. He uses this personality model along with his own intuition and well-trained eye to break down the obstacles that stand in the way our peak performance. By establishing high levels of direct one-on-one connection with the client Mario is able to lock in a sustaining environment in which the leader is able to drive themselves on a career long journey of actualizing their highest potential."-Timothy P. Schermerhorn, Vice President & General Manager, Ericsson.

So mainly the cooperation between these two firms, isn't just about service requirer and provider. It's a call for action to praise the youthful element, to provide them with the proper tools to excel, to give them the proper opportunity to employ what they have, and the proper platform to express their ideas. It's a cooperation to praise the future element everywhere, building its foundations and paving its way with solid steps with the proper strategies and skills for the present.
