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

and Success”

and country club in the heart of Lahore. He is CEO of Mainland
Husnain Pakistan which is a group of companies, the
multibillion-turnover group, which employs a workforce of
more than 7000 is among one of the largest in the country.

Key Points: The Meaning of Leadership, The value of Strategy,
The Effectiveness of Negotiation, The Power of Networking, The Mystery of Numbers, No

WALI ZAHID | CEO, Skill City

“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.

Dr. FAISAL SULTAN | CEO, Shaukat Khanum Memorial
Cancer Hospital and Research Centre

“Professional Ethics at Work Place”
Dr. Faisal Sultan is a US-trained infectious diseases specialist.
He has served on expert committees in Pakistan in the area of
HIV-AIDS and on the Human Papilloma Vaccine Advisory
Committee of the WHO. 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.

Manager. 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.

consultancy for the last 15 years. She specialized in
strategic leadership and marketing strategy and has
trained the top management of many local and
multinational organizations. She is the CEO of the world’s
largest training and consulting multinational –
FranklinCovey Pakistan.

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.
