In an interview with ExecutiveBiz, CNSI CSO Adnan Ahmed spoke about his early mentors and influences: “I’ve had many different people who have had an influence on me. Whether it was my father in my early years, a professor from the University of Maryland, colleagues from the technology industry, or others in my family, and specifically an aunt who instilled in me social responsibility – a common message in their guidance is that one can’t just live in the business world which is only a microcosm of society and the world at large. So I can’t pinpoint one individual, because going through life is a process.
One particular advice that someone gave me, is to try NOT to do everything at once but focus on one thing and do it extremely well. When you try to have too many balls in the air, they tend to fall – when you focus on one task you do it well and people tend to appreciate what you’ve done.”
