Exciting developments from $CIEL Limited 🌍 Despite challenges in the textile sector, CIEL's strategic conglomerate building approach has led to impressive gains in EAT (PAT), EBITDA, and NAVPS, while reducing debt. #CIEL beat our estimates by ~5% and has recently, though temporarily breached the top end of our current value range.   The commitment to sustainable operations, particularly in energy, is inspiring—textiles now sourcing 60% power from renewables, with a short term target of 70%. CIEL’s diversified clusters, from healthcare to leisure, each play a role in driving growth and stability across key emerging markets.   We are looking forward to seeing how management continues to expand on these opportunities in 2025 especially after the injection of new energy from a fresh CEO (recently internally promoted). #Sustainability #EmergingMarkets #Growth Read more on our CIEL estimates/forecasts Review YE24 here https://lnkd.in/ePsDRKTD Mauritius International Financial Centre #Semdex MCB Group african | markets timesofindiatoday Com

The Power of Deep Listening in Leadership   In the realm of leadership, deep listening is not just a skill—it's a necessity. It fosters trust, understanding, and connection, ultimately driving a more engaged and empowered team. Here are 10 tips to enhance your listening skills and create a culture of empathy: 1. Deep Listening: True leadership begins with deep listening. Don’t just hear—fully understand what others are sharing with you.  2. Earn Trust First: Approach conversations with an open mind. Listen without the intent to share your own experience. Trust stems from genuine attention.  3. Tame the “Advice Monster”: Resist the urge to jump in with solutions. Instead, create space for others to discover their answers.  4. Curiosity Over Control: Approach each conversation with curiosity. Real curiosity unveils deeper insights.  5. Active Listening Matters: Engage by maintaining eye contact, nodding, and refraining from interruptions to show that you’re present.  6. Decenter Yourself: Shift from being the center of attention to enabling others' success. Leadership is about empowerment.  7. Ask “And What Else?”: This powerful question can lead to deeper insights. Keep exploring until you reach the core of the conversation.  8. Learn from Opposing Views: Growth happens when you listen to different perspectives and challenge your own.  9. Create a Purpose-Driven Culture: Purpose and meaning drive engagement, especially in high-pressure environments.  10. Communication is Key: According to Kim Cameron, strong communication is the top predictor of team success. By integrating these practices, we can transform our leadership approach and foster environments where everyone feels heard and valued. Let’s make every conversation count! 🌍✨  To know more about this topic, don’t miss my bonus episode “Learning to Listen Deeply”: https://lnkd.in/e-3s5qmR And feel free to share your own tips in comments! #PositiveLeadership #DeepListening #LeadershipDevelopment #Empathy #CommunicationSkills
