Loud Thinking

“Love is stronger than differences. We all live on the same planet. We walk on the same earth. We breathe the same air. No matter where I was born, no matter what color skin I have or what religion I was raised to believe in, everything and everyone is connected to this one life. I no longer choose to prejudge others, to feel either superior or inferior. I choose equality — to have warm, loving, open communication with every member of my earthly family. I am a member of the earth community. Differences of opinion are wonderful, colorful varieties of expression. Today my heart opens a little bit more as I go about creating the world I want to live in.”

Helping-Others is give aid and support wherever it may be needed.

“To help yourself, help others. Whatever good you do travels a circle and returns to you many times over- but remember, life isn’t about what you get, it’s about what you become.”

Dennis Gaskill

CEOs cast the vision and mission of the organization. They accept overall responsibility for the organization.

Organisations rise and fall under the guise of their leader – CEO.

I LIKE THE ROLE OF CEO DEPICTED AND I DO THE SAME BUT BRING IN BIT OF AGGRESSIVENESS, ASSERTIVENESS, PASSION.

MY ROLE HAS BEEN ATM – ANY TIME MOTIVATION.

ACCORDING TO ME C E O = CREATIVE EMPOWERING OMNIPRESENT.

This almost looks like the story of the PCB and all State Owned Enterprises of Pakistan.

I believe that a good CEO needs to be well seasoned in the industry in which they serve, otherwise they have no way of being able to chart a successful, strategic vision for their organization.

I have seen too many people come into CEO roles with not a single ounce of industry experience and totally destroy an organization by making wholesale changes which history had already proven to be wrong.

They normally are surrounded by a support team that also is so out of touch with reality that they offer little or no insight to the new CEO with respect to relevent insights.

Most are only there to maintain their status quo positions while real value either leaves or give up trying to make a difference.

Brand Yourself While Maintaining Your Integrity

In the American workplace, self-promotion is seen as a way to differentiate yourself and advance your career. But for people who grew up in cultures where modesty, composure, and self-control are strongly valued, it can be hard to meet the need for personal branding. In this case, it helps to reframe the idea of self-promotion – instead of viewing it as a selfish endeavor, think about whom else might benefit from your efforts. For example, if you’re known as a sought-after expert, clients will hire your company to have access to your skills. And if you come from a culture that emphasizes the group over the individual, highlight your achievements within the context of what the team or organization was able to achieve. This way, you can maintain your integrity while still getting name recognition for all that you do.

Adapted by HBR from “ Self-Promotion for Professionals from Countries Where Bragging Is Bad” by Dorie Clark and Andy Molinsk y.

A role model CEO..!

The CEO cannot be a lone dictator, figurehead, or demonstrate lack of self confidence.

As a CEO to be successful you must surround your self with the best staff possible and turn them lose to accomplish the goals that have been developed, you must still be there to direct and keep things progressing in a forward motion.

If necessary you must cut loses and replace staff for the benefit of the business overall.

The department directors must also understand the financial end of the business to be able to assist in cutting cost, keeping top quality employees motivated and enthusiastic.

As the CEO of my own company building a team that had forsight and dedication took effort and it was not all from a resume. It was their personal enthusiam and drive that created success.

If in anger USA can retaliate against Pakistan (as is evident from the below mentioned news) why can’t Pakistan retaliate for abduction and wrongful confinement of Ms Aafia Siddiqui and for not allowing its elected parliamentarian Sheikh Rashid to over fly America?

Why can’t Pakistan stop Ground Lines of Communication (GLOC) and use of its air space by USA for Afghanistan?

Pakistan must remember that it can only be insulted to the extent Pakistan will permit..!

To please the USA we even cancelled Iran gas project which would have produced cheap electricity more than a big dam like Kalabagh dam. But in return Americans gifted India with civil nuclear energy agreement gift and object to Chinese nuclear help to Pakistan.

Is this the way America should treats Pakistan which is a major non NATO ally in the war on terror forgetting that this country has given more sacrifices in men and material than the combined losses of 49 NATO countries in the War on Terror (WOT) in Afghanistan?

What have the Western countries done in rebuilding the war torn Pakistan?
