THE NEW MANAGEMENT BOOK – A CRY FOR HELP!
CONTEXT AND PERSPECTIVES – ARABIAN MANAGEMENT SERIES.
A frank, honest, transparent, open and call-a-spade-a-spade no punch-spared, no barrels held stuff and no frills play book exposing the increasing lack of ethics, principles, professionalism and tolerance – plus increased radicalisation, extremism and increased fundamentalism of the Offices environment and in similar to the overall similar fast changing facts of the ground in the region.
Addressing the increased extremism, fundamentalism, and lack of tolerance and forbearance in the Arab workforce, Author Majid Al Suleimany presents A Cry for Help!: Arabian Management Services — Context and Perspectives.
In three parts, A Cry for Help! concentrates on the management styles and aspects of companies located in the Arabian Gulf Cooperation Council that encompasses Oman, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
It discusses the:
• Growing radicalization of local staff
• Misbehaving expatriates
• Unhappy, dissatisfied staff
• Bad treatment of Staff especially by some Expatriates – mainly Indian, European and Western Staff on Locals
• Increasing extremism and fundamentalism in The Offices
• Sensitive, related issues
In A Cry for Help!, Al Suleimany, A Management Expert, focuses on what is particular about the type of Arab management, its context and perspectives, and what is peculiar, special, or particular to that work in the context and comparison to management styles of other nations. Using personal experiences, examples, and illustrations, Suleimany exposes the new reality and truth and moves away from the trend and approach of hiding issues and problems.

Hi Pa,
I wrote an article about my idols here at our Company Newsletter
(It is a two month newsletter) here’s what I wrote about you.
M.S. (Always lands on his feet)
No matter how many times this man falls, he always seems to land on his feet. Every time he falls, he comes up even stronger, and once he gets up, the whole world knows about it. I remember when I was a kid, my dad had a small [party for his early retirement, and I heard a conversation between two big shots at PDO.
One said , “Do you think he shall be back?’.
The other replied, “Well no matter how many times we punch him, he gets stronger and stronger”.
I loved that moment
Be proud and never give up…… you are on top of the world! – From My Son

What The Books Reviewers Had Said!
Here is an Author who calls a spade a spade – Features Editor – Oman English Daily.
The book is highly recommended for those in interests to have short stories of lives in Oman and The GCC countries – Another Features Editor – Another Oman English Daily (Book Short Takes).
Majid al Sulaimany is a well-read, witty and prolific writer who often makes you laugh and sit up and think on ordinary but often neglected and not so cared matters in the society. He also writes about social evils prevalent in the society with a funny touch and lashes it with heavy blows. This unique style and way we rarely find in other writers. His prose is simple and clear and elegant
The title itself tells the reader the topics he talks about are not so sweet many times, and many of the articles irritate somebody or other.
Since it is ‘between us only’ and whispered in to your ears he often talks about matters which many are scared to touch. Majid’s “Between us Only” is a sincere attempt by a simple human being who cherishes his culture and traditions, and wanted it to be preserved for the coming generations.
It is a labour of love with keen observation of the society in the 21st century Arab world in particular. It also carries warnings, resentments, fears and advises for all.-
The Features Editor – Oman English Daily (The Sequel Book).
It is part of personal thoughts of the Author on the day-to-day happenings in the society, part satire, part analytical, but in the long run, it does really matter – it is cautionary and advisory. It is the second book on the same line, and while it is overdone at times, it is still a fun reading enjoyable experience.
In his impressive style, Majid skilfully combines the pride and prejudices of the society, love and hate, vanity, pomp and show with a mixture of elements of caution to show that somewhere something is lacking and eventually leaves the readers to find out the answers.
No, he is not copying anyone’s style, it’s his own personal genre, and fortunately for us, he does it well! He also deals publicly with more serious aspects of culture and social life. It provides a point to ponder, people should believe in it.
Whatever others may think, his intentions seem to be very plain – love your country, love your culture and love one another.
Where he is right is in underlining the fact that some people are encouraged by elites who take ludicrously short-sighted decisions which in the long run costs the people dearly.
Highly recommended reading for all.
Another Features Editor – Another Oman English Daily (The Sequel Book).
Majid has a very interesting and straightforward way of putting things.
Another interesting aspect of Majid’s writing style is that he can explain most burning complex and contemporary issues in a few sentences with unqualified clarity of thoughts Another Features Editor – Another Oman English Daily (Between Us Only Book).
Written in a frank, open, and honest approach, Majid exposes his personal viewpoint on the critical realities found in the book. A must-read first-time book written by an Arab (GCC) Management Author and with the aim and focus for improvement in the especially Arab Management process – International Reviewer (USA)
Demonstrating his sharp eye, value for culture and tradition, and fearlessness, acclaimed columnist Majid Al Suleimany continues to uphold the witty bravado found in all his books so far – International Reviewer (Canada)
It is a unique book, written in a unique style. It is a soul-searching and critical evaluation of one’s own people in the field. He extols the culture and importance of work in his religion and the pitfalls and lackluster attitude of the Managers in position about the Principles and Process of Management.” – - Editor Features – Oman English Daily.
