The mind of the beginner is empty, free of the habits of the expert, ready to accept, to doubt, and open to all the possibilities. It is the kind of mind that can see things as they are. We encourage our people to cultivate the beginner’s mind. It is the mind that is innocent of preconceptions and expectations, judgments and prejudices. Beginner's mind is full of curiosity and wonder and amazement. It is a necessary ingredient to innovation, as well as an essential quality of great leadership. A true leader and innovator must have a "beginner's mind." Maintaining a beginner's mind takes great strength. It requires us to set aside our hard-earned expertise and face each business challenge, idea or opportunity as though we had never seen it before . . . even if we have, many times.

At Al Hathboor, we bring a fresh new approach to doing business where we are not struck in a groove that limits independent thinking and binds us with worn out ideas and concepts that may not be germane to the issues at hand. Instead, we facilitate an atmosphere where people feel free to question pet notions, think out of the box and respond with innovative ideas.

Indeed, over the years we have grown from strength to strength leveraging on our innate capacity to see things in new light, bring a new perspective on things and always stay on the cutting edge. The fact that today we are one of the leading business houses in the region is testimony to our ability to stay open to change and evolve in new directions. Like they say, anything is possible to a willing mind.

At Hathboor, the possibilities are endless and the potential enormous.
