THE NEWS OF AL HABTOOR LEIGHTON GROUP Dubai - UAE ...

CEO CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
Riad T. Sadik
As usual, the year end is the time
for reflection and looking forward.
It is a time when we all measure
our progress, remember the success
stories and learn from the failures. It is
always important to analyze and assess
what has made the achievements
possible and how the failures can be
restored.
The year 2007 witnessed the handover
of several projects and new ones
awarded. 2007 was also a year of change
for HEE in numerous ways; among others
it marked the historic partnership with
Leighton which promises wider horizons
for both companies. All this would not
have been attainable without the key
ingredient of trust. It has been trust in
our own capabilities, the team around
us, our business partners and the vision
of creating something special together
with our faith in God.
The whole is greater than the sum of its
parts, the power of oneness will unite us
in moving forward and bringing about
even greater achievements. On that note
it is my pleasure to wish you and your
family a peaceful, happy and successful
New Year•
It gives me great pleasure to wish you
Eid Mubarak and a Happy New Year.
We are at a time where there are a
great number of announcements being
made every day.
You are aware of the re-structuring
process that the company has been
going through. I thank you for trusting us
to evaluate the best options and to come
up with the best solutions. Solutions
that can take Al Habtoor Leighton to
previously unattainable heights and
that allow us to grow and progress
as individuals. Presentations outlining
the major changes in roles, titles and
reporting structures for every SBU have
been made. You will see these new roles
falling into place shortly. With the latest
round of meetings, we have been able to
clearly define other sub-structures and
the finer detail, so that there is clarity
among all roles and all departments and
SBU’s conform to standard guidelines.
Job descriptions are also being clarified.
At times like these, we all have
expectations. We hear things and expect
immediate changes, quick actions,
etc. While we believe in quick working
and swift execution of work, we also
understand that it takes time for things
to happen, and that gradual changes are
more effective. What one needs most at
a time like this, is patience. Patience to
wait for what has been communicated to
take shape, patience to understand that
well thought out strategies take time.
And along with all this, your trust that we
have your best intentions at heart•
