Everything We Knew About Business in the Middle East Was a Lie

By Amro Rashad

For decades, leaders in the Middle East have operated under the illusion that imported business frameworks, global best practices, and Western success formulas are the universal key to growth. But what if everything we knew about business in this region-was a lie?

In this bold and refreshingly honest field guide, Amro Rashad pulls back the curtain on the real dynamics that shape organizations in the Arab world. Drawing from over 30 years in HR leadership and transformation roles, he offers a hard-hitting, insider's view of the cultural codes, silent assumptions, and leadership dysfunctions that rarely get discussed.

Through a series of sharp insights, provocative reflections, and field-tested strategies, this book redefines what it means to lead in complexity-and how to build organizations that are not just efficient, but deeply human.

Whether you're a CEO, HR leader, strategist, or simply someone who believes that true transformation begins with unlearning, this book is your call to rethink, realign, and reinvent the way business is done in the Middle East.

This is not a corporate handbook. It's a wake-up call.
