Message from Principal & Director

Dear Readers,
Leadership is often imagined as a straight road lined with wisdom—but those of us who’ve walked it know better. It is full of bends, detours, missed exits, sudden U-turns, and the occasional pothole that we laugh about only much later!
Leadership Lens is a glimpse into that journey. Here, our leaders share personal stories—moments that inspired, challenges that shaped, and experiences that made them better not just as leaders, but as people. These are not sermons from the podium but reflections from real lives—sometimes serious, sometimes funny, always honest.
In these pages you will find stories that show leadership is not about being flawless, but about learning, adjusting, and carrying others along the way. You may smile at a humorous mishap, nod at a shared struggle, or pause at a powerful lesson—because leadership, after all, is lived before it is preached.
Through this section, we hope you see that every journey has its hits, misses, laughter, and lessons—and that together, these reflections form a tapestry of resilience, growth, and humanity that defines our leadership team.
So, put on the lens—and enjoy the view. You might just find a bit of your own story reflected back.
Ms. Vandana Marwaha
Principal and Director, DPS Sharjah
