Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (JCSC), General Zubair Mahmood Hayat Friday emphasised that a strategic leader not only had a strategic direction but also exerted a strategic thrust. "Such dynamic leadership will accrue only when the leader is well conversant with strengths and limitations of his team and is aware of contemporary thinking and challenges," he commented.
He made the remarks while addressing the top leadership of the strategic organisations and the participants of 'Senior Officers Leadership Course' at its closing ceremony. The course was organised at Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences here. Director General Strategic Plans Division, Lieutenant-General Sarfraz Sattar also present on the occasion, said a press release.
The chairman JCSC emphasised on the importance of value addition in defining organizational goals. "A good leader will not only put forward a clear mission in front of his team but will also continue to add value to it, based on team's experience and cross breeding of ideas", he said. The chairman appreciated the initiative of grooming the senior leadership of strategic organisations. He dwelled at length on the spectrum of strategic leadership traits.
The course was aimed at exposing the senior leadership of strategic organisations to various leaderships' traits, providing them insight into current geo-political paradigm, promoting appreciation of contemporary security challenges and involving them in brainstorming exercises designed to help their leadership skills.
