Meet Hazami Sayed, immigrant leader and founder of Al-Bustan Seeds of Culture
Generocity: When young people look at you and your role at Al-Bustan, what do you want them to identify as the most important characteristics of leadership?
Sayed: I would encourage them to pursue what gives them purpose in life, what allows them to make meaningful contributions to society. Leadership can be at every level and can take many forms within a small organization, a corporate company, or a civic or political role. In all cases, it requires grit — passion and perseverance with a long view — to continuously think of ways of leading oneself and how to do that purposefully in various contexts at each stage of one’s life.
