❓ Is toxic positivity at work hiding real struggles instead of helping?

🌍 The World Health Organization (2022) warns that workplace cultures which downplay stress or silence emotions fuel depression and anxiety, costing an estimated 12 billion lost workdays annually. 

📊A 2025 review found that suppressing negative emotions increases burnout and isolation, while eroding trust and communication (American Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Research). Closer to home, the GIG Wellbeing Report (2024) shows that while 82% of MENA employees rate their wellbeing as positive, 65% still faced a mental-health challenge last year.

🗣️ “The important thing is to recognize that we are humans before we are managers,” says Kibsons CEO Halima Jumani. She adds that tackling toxic positivity is a two-way street: leaders must create safe spaces, but employees must also communicate openly.

💬 The root lies in communication. When only upbeat talk is rewarded and hard conversations are dismissed, staff stay silent and problems fester. Over time, this breeds a culture of toxic cheerfulness where issues remain hidden instead of solved.

🎬 Watch the full video to hear Jumani’s take on how leaders and employees alike can break the cycle of toxic positivity.

💡 Basil Moftah, Managing Partner at Key Capital, highlights five traits that “the best founders usually have.”

🚀 “Firstly, they really get the problem they're solving and why it matters,” he shares. “Second, there’s proof that early customers love them—this doesn't have to mean huge revenue, but there should be signs someone cares enough to use (and pay for) the product. Third, they dream big but stay flexible. Markets change; great founders stick to their vision while being willing to tweak the product or model when needed.”

👉 Curious about the fourth and fifth traits? Head to the link in our bio.

☕ On a related note, Moftah recalls a pitch that truly impressed him: “Two passionate founders met with me on a weekend to share their vision and ideas on waste recycling. They came with no slides, a coffee, and an incredibly tight grasp of their industry's regulatory environment, clear metrics, why customers buy from them, and how they plan to grow. Every question was answered with data, not fluff. That level of preparation and clarity instantly built confidence. The ones that miss the mark usually believe the deck alone is enough to raise money—forgetting that they are a huge part of the process.”

Emaar (emaardubai) founder Mohamed Alabbar (mohamedalabbar) has hit out at major US tech giants, accusing them of controlling the lives of foreign citizens.

Speaking at the Mohammed Bin Rashid Leadership Forum (MBRCLDofficial) this week, Alabbar said: “I believe the West does not believe in competition. Of course they don’t, this is a joke. Microsoft controls our life, Google controls our life, Meta controls our life. Oracle controls our life.”

He added: “If a tech company from China wants to compete with Oracle for example, the US embassy will be uncomfortable.”

Alabbar – who also owns Eagle Hills (eaglehillsuae), Americana (americanafoods), and Noon (noon) – challenged the tech companies to sponsor events in Dubai, saying: “Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Meta, Facebook, I want to see them sponsor a conference in Dubai for once. They control the world market, they send their profit outside. Try asking them to sponsor one conference.”
