In my knowledge, no one was there, and thats what caused even Quaid to lose hope when he went back to GB. But then, a PHILOSPHER, not a LEADER (Allam Iqbal) recognized the leader in QUAID and requested him to come back - from which day the creation of a NATION STATE started practically :) Situations are worst everywhere, everytime, if I see from viewpoint of GREAT PEOPLE. As Einstein said, very very truly "Great people have always encountered severe opposition from mediocre minds...!" and a leader is/should be/supposed to be GREAT among the MEDIOCRE...! Hi Baqar,

Its just that we need to identify the RIGHT PATH and RIGHT WAY. When I said in the article about CONVINCING and MOVING THE MASSES - this requires a lot of efforts at our end. I would mention here the incident of 1971 Prisoners of War, who were freed by India and were safely brought back to Pakistan - WHO WAS THE PERSON BEHIND...? Zulfi Bhutto of Pakistan...! He had great talent of convincing, not only the FRIENDS but FOES as well. The situation was same at that time as well, no one could imagine that PoWs will be returned, but he made it possible. So, convincing the person with opposite mind is the real thing, the one who thinks like you is half convinced already. The big factor is of patience, calm nature & strength of ideology, as both Quaid and Bhutto had...! BR, Eiraad. Hi Rehan,

There are goods and bads everywhere - and believe me, TRUE leaders always come out in WORST case scenarios...! As Einstein said "In great difficulty lies great opportunity". I have worked in 3 big companies in Pakistan, and have seen both situations of pure SCRATCHING thingy, at the same time, pure ENCOURAGING situation. Just imagine a situation where everything is PERFECT and everyone is on the right track, will such environment really feel the need of a LEADER...? I suppose "NO". So, the worst the situation is, the more grooming one can get (by the way, I learnt this lesson in UET Lahore :)). Thanks for sharing your comments. Awaiting further discussion and views on this :) BR, Eiraad. Hi Faisal,

Unfortunately all the Leaders of POST partition era except a few lacked all these qualities, thats why we are facing this turmoil today, otherwise the situation would be different altogether.

But I beg to differ is some aspects. Do you really think that having the attributes of a leader, one can be promoted to the Team Lead or the next level? I'd like to quote here the blog post of our colleague blogger (Haris Hasan - Your Network). I believe in the Telecom world we work in, the Network makes the ideal catalyst for moving to the next step of the career ladder. Excuse the phrase but isnt it a "I scratch your back and you scratch mine" kind of work and network culture. Speaking apart from the Telco world I have the privilege of working and taking up a course on "Leadership Readiness"(http://readiness.wordpress.com) with Wali Zahid. The subject caters to the important aspect of what readies an individual to become a leader. I recommend my fellow zumbeelians to take out time and go through the contents of readiness blog.
