Shawki\u2019s K-12 reform program aims to move away from grade-focused education towards building skills.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/diplomacy\/\">DIPLOMACY<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/education\/\">Education<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/enterprise-last-nights-talk-shows\/\">Enterprise+: Last Night\u2019s Talk Shows<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/investment-watch\/\">investment watch<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/tarek-shawki\/\">Tarek Shawki<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"593806\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"593806\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">3<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Speed Round<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/10\/10\/egypts-hhd-receives-eight-requests-for-10-stake-purchase-management-role\/\">\r\n                            Egypt\u2019s HHD receives eight requests for 10% stake purchase, management role                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/10\/10\/egypts-hhd-receives-eight-requests-for-10-stake-purchase-management-role\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

Unlike its Western competitors, Transsion has built cheaper phones specifically for lower-income African economies, providing a longer battery life, dual SIM capacity, and local language options. The company also sees Africa as a potential manufacturing hub, and has opened two factories in Ethiopia. All this has seen Tecno rise to become the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brandafrica.net\/Rankings.aspx\">fifth most respected brand on the continent<\/a>, ahead of companies we usually think of as being dominant in the smartphone space, such as Apple and Google.<\/p>\n<p><b>This is part of a wider trend that is seeing Chinese companies take the lead role in African telecoms. <\/b>Tech giants Huawei and ZTE <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/investing-in-africas-tech-infrastructure-has-china-won-already\/a-48540426\">are providing the infrastructure and networking capacity<\/a> almost on their own, while Alibaba\u2019s e-payment platform Alipay is <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2019\/07\/29\/flutterwave-and-alipay-partner-on-payments-between-africa-and-china\/\">looking to expand<\/a> on the continent. Transsion\u2019s success is partly due to the reluctance from Western companies to engage with African countries as potential markets. As Pilling notes, there is still a tendency in the West to regard Africa as a charity case.

James M Dorsey concurs in a piece for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurasiareview.com\/09102019-learning-lessons-protesters-stay-one-step-ahead-of-rulers-analysis\/\">Eurasia Review<\/a>, but says that the impact of lessons learned from years of pent-up frustration in the region is best seen in Iraq, Sudan and Algeria. In each country, protests are the inevitable result of widespread unemployment, bloated government bureaucracies, and corruption. Repressive measures taken to silence protestors only add fuel to the flames, he says.

Speaking to us this week is Raouf Tawfik, general manager of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elgouna.com\/\">El Gouna<\/a>, a self-contained resort town on the Red Sea that boasts some of Egypt\u2019s most beautiful beaches and amenities.<\/p>\n<p><b>My name is <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/raouf-tawfik-0a1aaa\/\"><b>Raouf Tawfik<\/b><\/a><b>.<\/b> I\u2019ve been married for six years, and my wife and I have two beautiful girls. The eldest is almost four, and we also have a new addition to the family who\u2019s just seven months old. I trained as an engineer, then worked in finance for 16 years before assuming the management of one of Africa's largest dairy farms in 2016. Earlier this year, I moved to El Gouna to take on a new challenge.<\/p>\n<p><b>I\u2019m the general manager of El Gouna<\/b>, which is one of the most beautiful resort towns in the world. I lead the town\u2019s management team, and collectively we\u2019re responsible for ensuring that anyone who comes to El Gouna, whether a visitor or a resident, has a relaxing experience. We want everyone to truly live out our motto of experiencing \u201clife as it should be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>As you can imagine, mornings in El Gouna are quite spectacular.<\/b> I wake up early everyday, usually around 6.30-7 am, and have a coffee while reading Enterprise, then I head out for a quick workout. I spend the rest of the morning with my family before going to work; quality time with the family is so important. Recently, I also added windsurfing to the mix. It\u2019s a hobby I let slide for about 20 years, but being on the water in the early morning and then heading to work afterwards completely changes the mood of the day.<\/p>\n<p><b>When it comes to work, no one day is like the next.<\/b> My team and I run a town, and this of course means handling the issues and surprises that arise when you have groups of people living together. Whether it\u2019s managing security, the marina, the hospital, retail areas, or the school, we always do our best to make sure that everything is running smoothly. We also need to be responsive when it comes to addressing any issues that El Gouna residents might have and solving problems as they come up (which inevitably happens).<\/p>\n<p><b>El Gouna has become a hub for prominent events which require a lot of logistical organization<\/b>,including the <a href=\"http:\/\/elgounafilmfestival.com\/\">El Gouna Film Festival<\/a>, the <a href=\"http:\/\/elgounasquashopen.com\/\">El Gouna Squash International Open<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/el-gouna-red-sea\/el-gouna-half-marathon-2019\/3037967876233137\/\">El Gouna Half Marathon<\/a>, to name but a few. So an increasing amount of time is spent planning and executing these high-profile events, to make sure they go off without a hitch. The shorter-term intensive planning and rapid execution needed to run big events is quite a different thing to the regular planning and maintenance of El Gouna that we undertake on a continuous basis.<\/p>\n<p><b>With so many things to think about, finding ways to switch off can be a challenge.<\/b> Like many people, I find good Netflix shows to be one of the best ways of doing this. It\u2019s great to disconnect for an hour or two after a long day at work. I recently watched a great miniseries called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt8860450\/\">What\/If<\/a>, which is a thriller made in the US starring Renee Zellweger. I was stuck on a delayed flight to the UK and ended up watching seven out of the 10 episodes all at once. It\u2019s one of the best new series I\u2019ve seen lately \u2014 dark, compelling, and thought provoking. The other show that I really enjoy watching is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt4270492\/\">Bns<\/a>, which is all about power play in the world of New York high finance. It\u2019s fast paced and looks at an industry I\u2019m very familiar with.<\/p>\n<p><b>El Gouna was founded 30 years ago by Samih Sawiris, who is a visionary.<\/b> What many people saw as being just plain desert, he saw as an opening to develop something remarkable. In terms of its development, El Gouna started out as just a hotel, a marina, and a few villas, but it has since grown to become something entirely different. Now it\u2019s a town with over 20k residents, 19 hotels with over 2.7k rooms in total, and over 3.5k delivered homes. It also has three schools, a university, hospital, airport, and two world-class marinas, which are home to over 350 yachts and more than 100 eateries around town.<\/p>\n<p><b>El Gouna really offers something unmatched, which I believe is a blend of simplicity and sophistication.<\/b> It\u2019s difficult not to speak in clich\u00e9s when you try to describe the place, so I don\u2019t want to talk too much about the weather or the beauty of the Red Sea \u2014 although it\u2019s difficult not to feel these things when you come here. There is honestly something about El Gouna that feels magical. We also pride ourselves on having a multicultural and open-minded community living and working here. These people were essential in developing the town\u2019s unique identity.<\/p>\n<p><b>People often don\u2019t understand that our business is multidimensional.<\/b> We are not a real estate developer; we are an urban developer. We build towns and communities, and this makes us very different from other players in the market. We don\u2019t want to sell you a house \u2014 we want you to live out an experience and a lifestyle. To do that, it\u2019s important to provide the necessary enablers, including easy ways to set up a business, good education and healthcare systems, and an overall family-friendly environment that is different to what you\u2019ll find anywhere else in the world.<\/p>\n<p><b>The force that will create the most change in this industry?<\/b> Mortgages. Need I say more?<\/p>\n<p><b>The best piece of business advice I\u2019ve ever been given is that it\u2019s always about people, people, people.<\/b> Having the right team in place will get you to the moon. When it comes to management \u2014 which is, of course, a notoriously difficult skill to master \u2014 it\u2019s very important to try to focus on people\u2019s strengths rather than their weaknesses. You need to try to harness the different strengths of individual team members for the benefit of the team as a whole. This entails a mixture of motivation and discipline, but you will always get further with people if you focus on maximizing their strengths rather than chastising them for their weaknesses. Another very important piece of advice, from a big-picture perspective, is that you live and die by your cash flows \u2014 so always keep an eye on them.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/el-gouna\/\">El Gouna<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/my-morning-routine\/\">MY MORNING ROUTINE<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"593838\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"593838\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">14<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">The Market Yesterday<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/10\/10\/the-market-yesterday-264\/\">\r\n                            The Market Yesterday                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/10\/10\/the-market-yesterday-264\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();
