Writing for Gulf News, Aida El Shahabi, Group Chief Operating Officer of Amwaj Development, argues that progress in real estate is measured by capability, accountability and delivery – not by gender. Drawing on her responsibility for more than 1.5 million square feet of residential communities, she describes leadership as the discipline to make difficult decisions, earn the trust of multidisciplinary teams and consistently honor commitments. Her perspective connects operational excellence with a more human ambition: creating places that support well-being, connection and long-term pride.
