We are prepared to pay a reasonable premium to !y on a reputable and safe airline especially if we are travelling with our family. Over the years I’ve read many business books on leadership. There are so many so-called experts out there who have sure "re ways of being a great leader and to be honest in many cases the advice is not worth the paper it is written on. I learned a long time ago that there are three key elements that make great leaders and the "rst one is trust. If a leader wants others to follow him or her there must be trust in place in order that the followers will willingly support and believe in the leader. Yes, there are leaders out there who use the ‘bully boy’ tactics to get their way and for a while they can often get away by using fear in place of trust. The problem with fear tactics is they only work for a little while and those who are talented will leave to "nd a position with a leader who does not lead through fear. The reason I have chosen to talk about trust at this time is because of the recent news from Bloomberg who reported a bombshell when it comes to hardware Bahrain Airport Services Company honoured 11 staff members as employees of the month at a ceremony at its headquarters in Muharraq.

Companies like Amazon and Apple found a malicious chip on their server motherboards. These are not counterfeit chips. They are not part of the motherboard design. These were added by the factories in China at the time of manufacture. The chip was placed among other signal conditioning components and is incredibly hard to spot as the nature of these motherboards includes hundreds of minuscule components. Though Amazon and Apple have denied it, a private security contractor in Canada found the hidden chip on server motherboards. Elemental Technologies, acquired by Amazon in 2015, subcontracted Super Mi- cro Computer to manufacture their server motherboards in China.
