World's Most Inspiring Personalities to Follow in 2024

World’s Most Inspiring
Personalities to Follow in 2024
Making an excellent leadership is not a given. Business
requires a leadership profile that covers their specific
environment, strategy, business model, and culture—the
company's unique behavioral signature—in order to
function at a high level. Any business that wants to succeed
in the marketplace has to highlight the unique qualities that
set it apart from the competitors.
As we can see, inspiration is not enough to identify the
qualities that drive individuals. In the same way that
executives who prioritize performance above inspiration
could do so at a cost the company cannot afford, they might
discover that even while they inspire their troops, their
efforts are compromised by substandard results. Rather,
inspiring leaders are those who, using a certain set of
abilities, encourage people to take on challenging tasks and
hold them responsible for the outcomes. Furthermore,
instead of forcing their will on others, they help them
achieve better.
World's Leaders newest release of " World's Most Inspiring
Personalities to Follow in 2024" showcases inspiring
business leaders who have made remarkable strides towards
creating higher performing cultures inside the current
frameworks and always coming up with fresh ideas.
The cover features Dr. Jazmin Burns who recognized as
2023's Global Game Changer in the field of mental health
care. Her organization, Burns Virtual Psychological

landscape of accessibility, inclusivity, and client-centered

care. Driven by a mission to eliminate barriers and reach
those encountering difficulties in accessing traditional
mental health services, the practice serves as a testament to
Dr. Burns' unwavering commitment to fostering positive
impacts on the mental well-being of individuals and
families.
Dr. Burns' desire to make the path of mental health easier
for families was not just a fantasy; it was a reaction to the
difficulties she experienced working in various systems.
Having traversed hospital settings, research facilities, and
community mental health centers, she identified the
systemic and bureaucratic challenges that often hindered
progress. Burns Virtual Psychological Solutions emerged as
a solution to these challenges, allowing for a more nimble
and efficient support system free from the constraints of
institutional bureaucracy.

Alessandro
Redaelli
A distinguished Hotel Professional
with Years of Work Experience
Alessandro is a well-known hotel expert. Despite
having worked in the hospitality industry for more
than thirty years, he only recently joined Conrad
Abu Dhabi Etihad Towers. He can guarantee you that
no day is ever the same. He shares, "Some of my rst
memories of working in the eld are back from Italy
doing a Kitchen & Service diploma, aer which I
went on to study hotel management in Switzerland.”
Every successful hotel manager is aware of how
important it is to deliver excellent client service.
However, excellent customer service abilities aren't
the only thing you'll need if you want to head a
successful hospitality team. In the eld of hospitality
management, you'll need to be able to build a strong
team that will enable your business to operate at peak
eﬃciency.

Alessandro thinks that the company's
values—putting people first—are
extremely similar to his own. He and
Alessandro has a very pleasant
personality, is sincere in his enthusiasm
for service, and is well-versed in the
foundations of the hotel industry. He is
an exceptionally gifted general
manager who works and socializes
with grace to please all of his guests.
Since that time, Alessandro's job has
brought him all over the globe,
providing him the chance to
collaborate with numerous companies,
including Hilton and Mövenpick
Starwood. His most recent out-of-
station job was opening the Kempinski
Nikoolskaya in Moscow in 2013. He
then moved to the United Arab
Emirates, where he worked in Ras Al-
Khaimah and Dubai before settling in
the lovely capital city of Abu Dhabi.
Aligning with Work Values
others in the hospitality industry focus
their efforts on "people," always
seeking to motivate and uplift those
around them, whether it be their staff
or clients.
Work Challenges
The Conrad staff wants to give guests
an exceptional experience in addition
to a place to "stay." It is their
responsibility to go above and beyond,
anticipate the wants of the guests, and
offer them individualized services to
make sure they have the most
enjoyable experience possible.
Oftentimes, when Alessandro is
working on projects, and there have
been hours and days of work and
planning put into the projects by the
teams, his eagerness to watch the plan
unfold can sometimes have him on
edge. He says, "While I wouldn't say
it's a barrier, it can be a little dull
waiting for change to bear fruit, as it's
often a slow process, and we aim to
constantly better ourselves to ensure
we're putting our best foot forward.”
Apart from that, Alessandro places a
high priority on honesty and integrity
in both his personal and professional
lives. He thinks these are the driving
forces behind the team's and his own
personal growth. He discovers that
straying from these principles and
work ethics frequently results in rifts in
interpersonal relationships and
negative effects at work. But when he
does come across a circumstance
where things might not be in order, he
keeps in mind to handle it gracefully
and professionally, making sure that
everyone feels heard and satisfied with
the outcome.
Breaking the Routine Structure
What helps Alessandro most with
maintaining a work-life balance is
setting aside hours to spend quality
time with his family and himself. He
shares, "It is really important for me to
spend time with my wife, Larissa. Since
both of our sons are studying abroad,
we live alone, and as we both have
Alessandro is not a true believer in
always sticking to routine, as he
believes routine can sometimes set
people on autopilot, which can lead
them to lose touch with themselves and
their immediate experience. He likes to
start off his day in the office with his
espresso while catching up on world
news, which always puts him in a
productive state of mind. He says, "The
way you begin your day sets the tone
for the day ahead."

busy schedules during the week, it is
important that our weekends are spent
together enjoying one anothers
company and catching up." He
believes it's important to take out time
for himself to rest and replenish to give
the work that one does and is
passionate about 100%.
During the week, Alessandro enjoys
cycling to get a change of scenery
while enjoying the fresh air, and it is
also good for team spirit because he is
frequently joined by Director of Food
and Beverage Carmine and Director of
Engineering Nicholas.
"Your success is deﬁned by how your
connections with people are. The more
successful you are at nurturing and
sustaining relationships with people,
the more successful you are," says
Alessandro. Before anything else, he
thinks it's very important to recognize
the people who got him here. The
people Alessandro surrounds himself
with have been the key to his
continuous growth and success. He
states, "From my family and friends to
my teammates, colleagues, and the
people I've had the pleasure of meeting
and learning from. I am very grateful
to have a strong support system that
constantly inspires and pushes me to
do my best.”
While you're on that journey of
progress, Alessandro thinks it's
important to pay it forward and give
back to the community for everything
they've done for you. Throughout his
career, he has had mentors who have
taken the time out of their busy
schedules to teach him, sometimes
starting from scratch, in order to help
him learn, grow, and gain insightful
knowledge that has helped him go a
long way. He is incredibly appreciative
of them, and that is one thing he truly
appreciates and aspires to provide for
Success
his teammates: the opportunity to be approachable and to provide people
with the freedom to discover and realize their full potential.
Understanding Others by Stepping into Their Shoes
Alessandro strongly believes that hotels and teams are really only as
good as their people and learn about them as a person such as hobbies
and their family. He says, "Having a simple, meaningful conversation
can go a long way." While being a leader can open up many doors for
one, it comes with its fair share of challenges. He further adds that, as a
leader, one is the voice of his or her team and the bond that holds them
together. He assert, "It's important to be persistent in standing up for
your team as well as the values that you hold."
Alessandro gives advice to all the leaders in the making to swap places
with their own team members for a day. As a manager, he often steps into
the shoes of his team by working in positions such as bellboy and
breakfast barista, which gives him ﬁrst-hand insight into the workings of
the organization as well as the challenges faced by his colleagues.
“As a leader, you set the tone for your team;
they look to you for support and guidance, so
when your team hits a roadblock, you have to
step up and get through it with them.”

Serving to Bring Gender Equality and Empower
Women so they can Live to their Full Potential
36 | March 2024

Founder & CEO
Essence of a Lady, Inc.

In recent decades, the globe
has witnessed progress toward
more gender equality, but the
rate of change has been
unequal, and massive
inequities still exist.
Significant obstacles still lie in
the way of women and girls
achieving their full potential.
Every year, 15 million females
under the age of 18 marry
throughout the world. Girls are
still less likely than males in
certain nations to complete
high school. In economic and
political decision-making,
women and girls are
underrepresented.
Women face barriers to equal
participation in the formal
economy, earn less, and have
unequal access to assets and
property.4,5 They are also 14
percent less likely than men to
own a cell phone, and 1.1
billion women remain
unbanked.6, 7 Giving birth is
one of the most dangerous
days of a woman's life for
millions of women.
Inequalities exist in all
sessions to over 1000 girls in
elementary, middle, and high
school.
Ajayi-Scott's research for her
dissertation provided her with
the insight to understand
mentoring at a deeper,
historical and empirical level.
Her affiliations with Girl
Scouts, National Women of
Achievement, Public Speakers
Association, National Council
of American Executives,
National Association of
Professional Women,
International Society of
Female Professionals, and
International Women's
Leadership Association
provided her with continuous
learning and leadership skills
to leverage Essence of a Lady's
mission to educate, mentor,
and empower women. She
states, "Now, after establishing
connections around the world,
I will take 20 girls and 10
women to a summer retreat

partnerships, one here and one
in Africa."

over 400 women thanks to her

Ajayi-Scott has a combined
107 years of experience in
teaching, mentorship, and

years, her bachelor's degree in
economics and my relationship
