Humaid Al-Shamsi, Chief Executive Officer at Burjeel Cancer Institute and Regional Director of Burjeel Oncology GCC at Burjeel Holdings, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“A few years ago, I promised my son Abdulla – an avid LA Clippers fan and one of the biggest National Basketball Association (NBA) enthusiasts I know – that we’d go on an NBA trip when the time was right.
This weekend, we shared a memorable evening watching the Boston Celtics take on the Los Angeles Clippers – an outstanding performance and a commanding win: Boston Celtics 146 – Clippers 115.
What impressed me most wasn’t the scoreline, but the unmistakable power of teamwork on display. Every player understood their role, trusted one another, played unselfishly, and brought relentless collective intensity. It was a masterclass in how true excellence emerges when individual talent aligns behind a shared goal.
A powerful reminder that sustainable success – whether in sports, medicine, business, or life – is rarely achieved by standout individuals alone. It’s built on collaboration, trust, and commitment to a greater purpose, just like what we do at Burjeel Cancer Institute | BCI!
Great lessons from the court that translate directly to high-performing organizations.
Hard luck, Abdulla and LA Clippers – but an unforgettable game and a memory for life.”
