IMRAN KHAN | Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf

“Transformational Leadership”

He is founder of PTI. The main focus of his party is to bring justice to the people of Pakistan, largely via an independent judiciary. Imran Khan is also a special representative of Unicef and Chancellor of Bradford University. His honours include Hilal-i-Imtiaz; Imran Khan is renowned for is leadership skills as a captain. Under his captaincy, Pakistan won the 1992 Cricket World Cup. Imran Khan is also the Chairman of the Mianwali Development Trust, which is building the Namal College in Mianwali as an associate college of Bradford University.

Key Points: Transformational Leadership starts with the development of a vision, a view of the future that will excite and convert potential followers. This vision may be developed by the leader, by the senior team or may emerge from a broad series of discussions. The important factor is the leader buys into it, hook, line and sinker.

SIRAJUDDIN AZIZ | CEO, BANK ALFALAH

“In Search of Leadership”

A professionally qualified and an experienced banker with 33 years of proven accomplishment in all major executive functions covering areas like Strategic Planning & Direction, Capital & Profit Planning, Risk Management, Marketing, Foreign Trade, Corporate Credit, Treasury, Training & Development and Correspondent Banking etc. in various Financial Institutions in Pakistan, China, Hong Kong, U.K, Nigeria and U.A.E. In addition to the above and by virtue of being a core and senior member of banks’ Management Teams/Committees, have also been actively involved in overseeing the entire spectrum of banks’ operations in various banks during past 18 years.



Key Points: Leaders are resilient and flexible. History is littered with heroes who failed. An ad agency reportedly fired Walt Disney for lack of drawing ability. If people don’t have close friendships on the job and they don’t have a leader who really cares about them, there’s no chance that they’ll be engaged. This can be exhibited through conversation about people’s performance or their positioning etc. A great way to assess someone during an interview is to ask about mistakes they’ve made. You’re looking for signs of self-awareness, humility, resiliency, and learning agility

Life was simple and everyone lived happily until one day this deviant, truant, non-complying, impish and trouble-mongering word found its escape from the Oxford dictionary and dashed its way right into the heart of the business dictionary! Lo and Behold! Its sudden entry stole the thunder of all the remaining jargons in the book and a furor followed.

HAMID FAROOQ | Senior Executive Vice President, PTCL

“Managing change in crisis”

An accomplished executive with a wide-ranging, senior level general management experience in service, energy and telecom sectors. Results oriented, dynamic leader, with proven success in highly competitive market. Effective combination of Managerial and Leadership Skills, with expertise in the operational disciplines of Sales & Distribution, Marketing, Strategic Planning, Customer Service, Transportation & Logistics, Budgeting, Forecasting and Financial Management, Inventory & Warehousing, Staffing, Human Resource, Purchasing, Contracts Administration, Quality Assurance, Project Management and, Government Relations.

Key Points:Anywhere, anytime, a crisis may strike without warning and can escalate to a point where they just won't go away. Change results from the pressure of both internal and external forces in the organisation. It strikes the existing equilibrium or status quo in the organisation. Organizations that learn and cope with change will thrive and flourish and others who fail will be wiped out ultimately. Under these extra ordinary situations one requires a great vision and courage to see the need for change and to achieve it in advance of a crisis. More often, even the proactive leaders do not pre-empt the crises and find themselves in it when it’s too late.



IJAZ NISAR | Founder & President, Manager Today

“Motivational Guru”

His participants call him a “Motivational Guru”. Ijaz Nisar is the founder & President of Manager Today magazine and CEO of Leading Edge, HR & training consultancy. He is a Leading Inspirational Speaker, Corporate Trainer, an Author and Management Consultant.

Key Points: People require different degrees of motivation, feedback and inspiration and it is the role of the leader to identify their individual traits and adapt their own leadership style accordingly. Trust and respect are vital for the success of a leader; if you don't develop these amongst the people you work with, all is lost. Leaders are only as powerful as their teams. No leader is powerful enough to overcome a team that doesn't really believe in them and want them to be successful, unless they are a tyrant! But actually isolating the characteristics of great leaders is not easy. At the top level, leaders are a difficult bunch to classify. They do not exhibit the same traits – the spectacularly successful are, by definition, unusual. Trying to group them together is a forced and artificial process. It simply isn't right to say "leaders are charismatic" or "leaders are focused", because there are plenty of great leaders who are neither. Neat definitions don't work. Leaders need to accept the blame if things go wrong – and expect similar standards all the way down the chain. Market credibility and staff morale are just two areas that can take a hit if grand initiatives are announced but not executed. The answer is simple: announce initiatives once you know they are working.

KAMRAN RIZVI | Founder & Director, Navitus

“Staying Calm in Crisis”

Kamran is a founding director, trainer, executive coach, inspirational speaker and consultant at Navitus, a leading OD consulting and training firm in the country. He specializes in behavioral and organizational change.

Key Points: What should you do when a challenging situation arises? More importantly, how can you remain calm in order



to deal with the situation to the best of your ability? Knowing the ropes when faced with a crisis will enable you to get your bearings and handle it with a minimal amount of stress. People who handle crises successfully know that in order to take the right action, they need to be able to divvy up the responsibilities involved in righting the situation. Being able to stay calm throughout a crisis can prevent the situation from worsening and even stop a near-crisis from escalating. Choosing to respond in a calm, collected way will allow you to act efficiently and maximize your chances of bouncing back quickly and getting things back to normal.

AHSAN IQBAL | MNA, Chairman, Better Pakistan Foundation

“How to overcome Leadership Crisis in Current Scenario of Pakistan?”

Mr. Ahsan Iqbal, Member of National Assembly for the third term from Narowal district, holds B.Sc (Mechanical Engineering) degree from University of Engineering & Technology, Lahore, where he was also elected as President of Students Union. He enjoys rich and broad professional experience.

Key Points: Unity, Faith and Discipline, are day dreams in the present status quo, prevailing in the country. A blame-game is continued between Senior Politicians, on minor issues. It seems that each of them is fighting, to enlarge its political creed. What can then a citizen expect from rulers, leaders, etc, who are custodian of this country. The democratic norms are severely crushed by different players, in the country. Some says, there are non-state actors, other blame, and enemies of democracy, in shape of Military Interventions. It is the need of time, that we should thought above our personal aims and objectives. We must take each individual citizen of the country, into confidence. By correcting our individual-selves, who could correct our rulers, leader and the people around us. We should unite for the sake of this country. No body will come to correct us, it sould be we ourselves we should learn from our personal errors. "United we stand, divided we fall". Unity, Faith and Discipline, could lead us towards a bright future. A future, towards which world nations, will desire to reach

“Leadership Re- Focus”

Wali is an international consultant, speaker, leadership trainer and executive coach. He is CEO of Skill City, a new-generation learning and development regional firm. Wali has trained thousands of managers and business leaders in the past 15 years from most Fortune-500 companies.

Key Points: To achieve anything worthwhile and which also has a scale, we need five BIG things: Let’s zoom out, zoom in and then zoom out! Let’s zoom out for the first two. We need what I call will and skill.

Will = desire, hunger, drive, ambition, willingness, your reason for being, mindset to achieve your big goal. Skill = ability, competence, capability, something you are known for, niche, skillset that help you to achieve your big goal. These two are our big-picture needs.



ROSHANEH ZAFAR | Founder & Managing Director, Kashf Foundation

“Women Empowerment through Micro Financing”

Roshaneh Zafar, the Founder and President of Kashf Foundation is a learned economist. She represents true face of the ideal women of 21st century who nurture a vision and are capable of transforming their dreams into reality.

Key Points: Most microfinance programs target women with the explicit goal of empowering them. However, their underlying premises are different. Some argue that women are amongst the poorest and the most vulnerable of the underprivileged. Others believe that investing in women’s capabilities empowers them to make choices, which will contribute to greater economic growth and development. Finally, some proponents emphasize that an increase in woman’s resources results in higher well-being of the family, especially children.

He is a member of the academic council of the University of Health Sciences, Lahore and is a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Pakistan.

Key Points: Education and training in the values and identity of an organization help to remind and reinforce these values. Effective communication and monitoring are crucial to create the systems which can disseminate and evaluate, which then lead on to appropriate reward and (occasional) punishment. Professions are vocations that often require a high degree of skill or education and are often placed in high esteem by society and granted



autonomy and self-regulation. Classic examples are the legal, medical, engineering and accounting fields but there are numerous others.

Mr. Khawaja got his first degree from the London School of Economics and did MBA from Pakistani. He was the Founder President of the LUMS HR Forum at Lahore, and also served its Karachi chapter as President for two years.

Key Points: Most of us admire celebrity leaders who have charisma, personality, emotional intelligence and who deliver great results. But these leaders do not represent leadership. Leadership is represented by the whole leadership team in an organization. Good leaders do not just build their personal credibility they build the organization’s leadership capability and the capacity of the organization to sustain future leaders. In order to build a cadre of leaders to fulfill organizational future needs, present leaders must invest in leadership development in a systematic manner.

Key Points: The impact of a transformational leader reverberates long after he is no longer there and it is this moral longevity which makes him larger than life. All transformational leaders like the Prophet (PBUH), Quaid e Azam or Nelson Mandela are people who never gave a thought on the personal hurt and damage that the process of transformation may cause, rather they sacrificed their own bodily and worldly comforts to alleviate the anguish of the masses.
