Mr. Imran Khan leaders never shy away from accepting the responsibility in their failures…!
People are getting greatly disillusioned with the leadership failure(s) of the PTI, with particular reference to the very disappointing performance of Mr. Pervaiz Khattak, CM KPK.
His blatant lie, about the DIKhan jail break incident that it was a “failure of intelligence” has proved to be the last nail in the coffin. Today, all the news papers of the country has exposed the incompetence of the CM KPK and his team, by revealing that the entire KPK government machinery was informed three days in advance, about the imminent attack on the DIKhan jail. Not only that, but the CM KPK’s shameless and blatant lie that this jail break was an “intelligence failure” was also thoroughly exposed.
Now the question is, who in the entire PTI is going to apologise firstly, with the intelligence agencies and secondly with the nation, for this demeaning statement of the KPK CM? Not accepting responsibility and not apologising gracefully is timidity. A timid person can be a ruler but he can never be a leader.
If I was Imran Khan, by now the CM KPK would have been dismissed, irrespective of the consequences of the fall of the KPK government.
Now a stage has come where even the credibility, image and reputation of Mr. Imran Khan is on stake, just because of this nincompoop KPK CM. If he fails to act today, it will be the end of his own credentials, as a leader, worth his salt.
Moreover, if Mr. Imran Khan fails to rise to the occasion now and immediately, PTI may well see the consequences of the leadership failure, in the results of the coming by-elections.
The proof of pudding lies in its eating.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.

If ever PTI went drowning to the bottom of the sea, the one and only person responsible will be the CM KPK.

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”

To Attract the Best Talent, Offer Meaningful Work
Talented people used to want high salaries and stable career paths, but now they want work with purpose. Here’s how your company can offer candidates meaningful and attractive roles:
Get serious about impact. Determine the positive impact your organization seeks to make in the world. You don’t have to be a social enterprise to do good.
Tell that story well. Call it marketing or storytelling, but make sure you’re communicating how much you care about your mission and how you’re working toward it.
Design roles for their future, not just yours. Many people see a job as one of many stepping-stones they’ll visit over the course of a career. Focus on making your stone as attractive and inviting as possible. Decent pay, rewarding perks, and large doses of autonomy demonstrate that you take professional development seriously.
