We are very happy to announce that the Meirc research on leadership has been completed.
Here is some interesting information about the research project and the forthcoming book. - The research project took just over ten months to complete.
- It covered 12 Middle Eastern countries: six GCC countries, plus Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine, and Syria.
- 310 managers and senior executives were interviewed.
- The average length of an interview was 1 hour and 6 minutes; this translates into 341 hours of interviewing, or 43 man days – not counting travel and waiting time.
- The research was designed, planned, and organized by Farid Muna (Chairman) and Ziad Zennie (Partner)
- The ten Meirc research team members who conducted the 310 interviews were: (listed in alphabetical order)
– Fuad W. Awad – Alex-Ameer F. Ayoub – Fadi R. Chahrouri – Alaa Elbaz – Hanna M. El-Jor – Yousef K. Gaspard – Farid A. Muna – Ahmad M. Rashid – Maher A. Rayes – Ziad A. Zennie
We are grateful for the time, effort, and dedication of the research team members. Thanks go to our colleague Aiman Sadeq for his assistance with the data analyses. We are also thankful to Yvonne Frank for her administrative support.
A book on the findings of the research has been written by Dr. Farid A. Muna and Dr. Ziad A. Zennie titled Developing Multicultural Leaders: The Journey to Leadership Success. It will be published this year by Macmillan Publishers, UK.
