**Interview with a Business Expert on the Impact of Personal Loss in Professional Life: The Case of Othmane Benjelloun**
**Interviewer:** Good day! Today, we have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Sara El-Amin, a business psychologist and consultant, to discuss the recent passing of Leila Meziane Benjelloun, the wife of prominent Moroccan businessman Othmane Benjelloun. Dr. El-Amin, thank you for joining us.
**Dr. El-Amin:** Thank you for having me. It’s a sensitive topic, but one that is important to discuss, especially given Othmane Benjelloun’s influence in the business world.
**Interviewer:** Absolutely. Othmane Benjelloun is the general manager of Bank of Africa and is widely respected. How do you think the loss of a spouse might impact someone in his position?
**Dr. El-Amin:** Losing a spouse is profoundly difficult and can affect all aspects of life. For someone like Mr. Benjelloun, who operates in a high-pressure environment, the emotional impact may lead to challenges in decision-making, motivation, and interpersonal relationships at work. It’s crucial for leaders to find ways to process grief while maintaining their responsibilities.
**Interviewer:** In your experience, how can business leaders cope with personal loss while maintaining their roles?
**Dr. El-Amin:** First and foremost, leaders should allow themselves to grieve. Taking time off to process emotions and seek support from friends, family, or mental health professionals can be beneficial. Additionally, having a strong support system within their organization can help them delegate responsibilities and ease the burden they may feel during such a tough time.
**Interviewer:** That’s great advice. As someone in such a public role, do you think there is added pressure for Benjelloun to remain composed?
**Dr. El-Amin:** Yes, definitely. Public figures often feel they need to project strength, but it’s essential to acknowledge that vulnerability is part of being human. By sharing his experience or seeking support, he could also inspire others to address their own challenges in a healthy way.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. El-Amin. In closing, what message would you like to convey to leaders who may be experiencing similar losses?
**Dr. El-Amin:** My message would be this: it’s okay to grieve, and seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Personal and professional lives are deeply intertwined, and acknowledging one’s own emotional needs is crucial to leading effectively.
**Interviewer:** Thank you for your insights, Dr. El-Amin. Your perspective on this matter sheds light on the importance of mental health, especially in leadership roles.
