Guest Talk by Abbas Sajjad, Head Marketing and Sales - Atlas Asset Management



Leaders are not self appointed but chosen- with that said, Abbas Sajid ,the Head of Marketing Sales & Investor Services at Atlas Asset Management Limited, caught the attention of the students of Leadership class in IoBM, while giving a guest speaker session about Transformational Leadership. With an experience of working with Atlas group for a while he spoke of his transformational leadership experiences. He said every man has a natural instinct of being a leader. But if he is high on the Emotional Quotient, he might have to ignore the idea because it’s a stressful job. Losing his emotions on the wrong day might be costly for him and the team.

HE spoke of how a leader needs to always be selfless. He needs to have a broader view beyond his own personal preferences and projections. HE should look at the bigger picture to see what is best for the whole of organization.  His focus should be on the value of Equality. Every team member should get the same amount of support and preference from the leader so none feel he is biased. He should be rational and logical. He always is to take the blame for the team for any failures and give the credit for the achievements of the team. He needs to act beyond his own self.
But why does a leader have to transform? For the organization, of course. He has to transform, to transform his followers which consequently transform the organization.  . And the ultimate goal of the organization is achieved in an improved manner. Transformation is important because the world is in a constant state of change. And if the organizations aren’t responsive, they shall lag behind. Some might fail in the course too, but some may succeed depending upon the traits of the leader.
Mr. Abbas stressed on the use of 3Rs I.e. Respect, Reward & Recognition. Basic values and morals are absolutely necessary. But for a follower, the 3R is what he is focused on.  Is he actually getting something in return from the leader, for what he is offering him? It’s the leader’s responsibility to make more with less. He has to align the limited amount of resources with the vision of the organization. He needs to be highly visionary to make sure his corporate goals are well achieved.
For a leader, he has to take 100% responsibility for everything.  He should develop a conducive environment where the employees feel they can be autonomous in what they do which consequently gives a boom to innovation in the organization.  Cross Functional departments should be promoted by leaders so every department knows how everything works. Integration is the key.
A leader should be humble to assure success. According to Mr. Abbas Sajid, Braggers get nowhere! Humility helps in improving employee confidence.
Quoting the example of HBL, a bank known for a good management and hence it flourishes, he said the leaders should be able to transform the mindset of the people that whatever they do will impact the bigger picture. What they do is important and they themselves are an important tool for the organizations survival. This is to embed a sense of responsibility within them and they will do their work in the right meaning.

  2. Mr. Abbas Sajid, Head of Marketing and Sales at Atlas Asset Management Limited gave a very interesting session on Transformational Leadership. Initially, he started his session by asking what does it take to be a good leader? What would be your drive to become a leader? After getting answers like to bring a change, to stand for a cause and to improve lives of the people a person becomes a leader, he quoted: “Leaders are not self appointed, they are chosen!”

    He further explained that first thing in leadership is to think selflessly. The leader should keep his preferences aside as there is always a history, vision, model or a cause behind as to why a person is leading. He should always focus on his agenda rather than fulfilling his self-interests. Moreover, he enlightened that leadership can’t work in isolation. It is always through system and structure that leadership gets evolve. It is a two way process. Leadership sees everyone with equality.

    Furthermore, he tried to explicate that sometimes leadership within an organization isn’t popular but is popular outside. One of the reasons could be that a leader who transforms isn’t the most popular person for all of his employees in a multicultural organization.
    He emphasized on leading by example. There should be ethics and motivation in the personality of a leader. Also, he mentioned the importance of 3Rs: Respect, Reward and Recognition. He stressed that every CEO should follow the 3Rs in order to be successful. Leadership is tough; therefore, he explained that a person with high EQ isn’t suitable to become a leader as a person with a higher EQ won’t be able to cope up with his emotions. A leader has to be on his toes all the time in order transform his company. He is the one who should take 100% responsibility of everything. In organization if there is any issue and it goes to the leader’s room then at that time he should be able to solve it immediately. That is the 360 paradigm. In leadership visionary and spirituality skills are important. The more experienced you are the better it is. There is no replacement of experience.

    Moreover, he accentuated that it is a must that a leader should have humility. As if a leader is humble with his employees it will be more effective and employees will work in a better way. He further said that success is all about common sense. The facts should be kept on ground and rational thinking should be done in order to achieve desired goals and objectives.

    According to him the best example of transformational leadership in Pakistan is of HBL, a bank that is known for its good management and good leadership qualities.

  3. Our guest speaker Mr. Abbas from Atlas Group explained to us what a leader should be like. He started by telling us how we can never work in isolation. All around us we have someone or the other depending on us or us depending on someone. We work in teams, whether it be at our workplace or another aspect of our lives. He explained that pretty much the same way, a leader does not become a leader In isolation.
    Also, he went on by saying that a leader has to be selfless. Someone who’s a true leader cannot work for own goals and achievements. A true leader thinks about others and their worries and goals as his own. A leader does not strive for something only he himself believes in but works for the common goal.
    He continued by telling us how leadership is an art and not a science. You cannot learn to be a leader after following some steps or following a process. Leadership is from within.
    The biggest learning we received from Mr. Abbas was that a leader can emerge from anywhere. He can be as small in position as a team member and can be as big as your CEO. The designation or position of the person given by the company does not make him a leader.
    Moreover, our guest speaker informed us that what the leader does the most is transform the mindset. However, he told us that sometimes the transformation can be disastrous. It is not mandatory that a leader be successful in transforming.
    Often, transformation occurs when automation takes place in a system or organization. Such transformation takes place in the form of people getting trained (like on a specific technology).
    Going deeper into leadership, he explained that all types of leadership have 3 aspects, or the 3 R’s. These are, Reward, Respect and Recognize. Hence, we now know that true leaders always care about the people around.
    A true leader HAS to be humble. You cannot become a successful leader if you aren’t humble. The article we read about the Kimberly Clark CEO stated the same, humility being key.
    Lastly, what amazed me the most was when Mr. Abbas told us his opinion that a person with a high Emotional Quotient (EQ) should never become a leader.
    Overall the session by Mr Abbas was pretty amazing where he shared his experience at Atlas and explained everything he said with proper examples from the workplace.

  5. Guest Speaker Session by Abbas Sajid
    On Saturday, 24 September, 2016, Mr. Shiraz Ahmed’s Leadership, Ethics, and Change class had the privilege to hear the thoughts and wisdom of Mr. Abbas Sajid, who serves as the Head of Marketing Sales & Investor Services at Atlas Asset Management Ltd. The 30 minute session was not only full of knowledge, but showcased how the term “leadership” is different from person to person.
    Background
    Mr. Abbas Sajid has worked for over 25 years at different positions and fields, garnering a repertoire of skills under his belt. The one skill he was adamant, and talked to us about, was leadership, specifically transformational leadership, which was the topic of discussion of our 3rd week’s class.
    The Session
    According to Mr. Abbas Sajid, we all have a desire to become a leader but he is of the opinion that we can’t be a leader ourselves. In fact, to be a leader, people need to appoint you the leader. However, being a transformational leader isn’t as easy as it seems.
    While he did fumble here and there, showing that practice means more than theory, he imparted the fact that not every leader can stay that way for long, owing to it being a very difficult and stressful position.
    According to him, a leader is someone who adheres to the 3 R’s, which he terms as Respect, Recognition and Reward. As we have learned in transformational leadership and the process of framing, it’s not about giving all 3 but prioritizing and choosing which of the 3 to give first, and most. By doing so, you can transform individuals who will, in turn, transform the company or organization for you.
    He also stated that more than anything, a leader needs to be selfless. He needs to act in the best interest of his company and his team. In doing so, he sets a phenomenal example, an idealized one, for his team to follow. In doing so, he ensures that his team performs beyond their own expectations and goes above and beyond.
    When it comes to cross functional teams, he says that things could get tricky. However, it’s vital that a leader knows how such departments work and how they interact, in order to promote harmony and effective interplay.
    During his session, he delved into a great example of how transformational leadership worked for local companies. In one instance, Atlas needed to change but that wasn’t possible until the ‘mindset’ of the people working directly and indirectly for them changed as well. Fortunately, the leader was able to do so and in doing so, was able to help ‘transform’ people and thus, help the company flourish.
    Conclusion
    In the end, he made it evident that everyone wants to be a leader, generally because of the attractive sway it holds. However, he also made it very clear that it’s a difficult task and should not be taken lightly. When it comes to transformational leadership, it seems even more difficult, yet still possible. You need determination, a good control on your emotions, and a dedication for the good of the team and the company you’re working for in order to marginally succeed at being a good transformational leader.

  6. Some time you will never know the true value of a moment until it becomes history.
    This is what happened this week when Mr.Abbas Sajjad (sales head Atlas Capital Market) came in for a guest speaker session this Saturday. Abbas Sajjad a man with an immense experience and diverse portfolio, Is a Masters in business administration from LUMS and has a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from UET Lahore.
    Coming to his lecture He said that with his experience he has learned that “leaders are chosen” and “a person who is leading should be self erudite by his history”. He believe sometimes a leader might be popular from outside the organization but might not be that popular in his own work place. He says that transformation is difficult and leader has to face a lot of resistance but a good leader goes through this all. Primarily transformation take place to increase profitability but not all transformation efforts done leads to success there are time when things turns into a disaster but a good leader is someone who take these bitter medicines for the betterment of his organization and followers. To an extend that sometimes he has to take decisions about unpopular mergers/takeovers/acquisitions. People might not like to work at the same place if the change is not liked.
    Mr. Abbas said that it’s not only the Leader who leads to success it his followers as well who plays an equally important part in the success under his guidance to power back his avowal he shared an Example of Honda Bikes in Pakistan how it became successful with the same workforce and how the team constantly changed themselves with time and as per requirement to be up to the mark. And how they follow their motives of Respect, Reward and Recognition which he claimed as 3R code.
    He will further explaining the features and attributes of a good transformational leader stated that “If a person’s EQ is high he should not become a leader” and if you cannot cope up with the stress you should avoid from becoming a leader, And the leader is one who takes cent percent responsibility and he is there to solve things. A leader should also posses traits such Vision-Spirituality and his thinking level should be at a different paradigm to be an archetype for his followers. He even shared his thoughts on Transactional leaders that they are run of the mill material with nothing extraordinary.
    A leader should not have this “I AM” thing in himself, the day this element comes into his thinking process he should change himself, here even shared example of Pakistani students who have studied from LUMS and Stanford this is a problem with the generally. A leader should be humble and should have his homework done.
    While winding up his lecture he said that there is “No alternative for experience”. When asked about which organization he feels has gone through successful transformation if Pakistan, to this his answer was HBL.

  7. In order to give us a better explanation about transformational leadership, two guest speakers were invited in our leadership course to share their practical experiences with us and tell us about their views regarding leadership in an organization.

    Mr. Abbas Sajid who is the head of marketing sales and investor services at Atlas Asset Management Limited. The guest speaker started of with a question from the students about what makes a good leader and can anyone become a leader. After getting various answers, he shared his view that a leader is not self-appointed but chosen. He backed up his view saying that a leader is the leader of the followers and so the followers chose him if they find him fit to stand up for them. A person cannot become a leader forcefully.

    The speaker then shared his real life experiences at Atlas and about his bosses. He shared how a good leader should be and how he treat his juniors. He said we have very few good leaders in Pakistan but now the awareness about leadership importance is growing and that things are gradually changing. He shared about HBL experience and how the company has transformed itself.

    Mr. Abbas continued the session by telling the important qualities about a transformational leader. He said that a leader should have a clear vision and a shared purpose. He is selfless, ethical and the voice of his followers. He cater to each follower separately and act as his mentor. he motivates his followers and take the whole team along. He also focused more on humility and said that humility is one of the most important characteristics of a leader. Since leadership is all about followers, the leader should be humble and have empathy for his followers.

    Mr. Abbas emphasized on the three Rs, which he said are very important for a transformational leader. These includes, respect, reward and recognition. He said that the leader should respect his followers and their needs, he should reward them if they perform well and they should appreciate and give recognition to their followers.

    The guest speaker then shared one his views, which surprised many of us. While we were taught that Emotional Quotient is one of the most important characteristic of a leader, Mr. Abbas said that people with high EQ should not be leaders. He justified his opinion saying that leaders has to solve problems for all his followers. He has to deal with others and so he has to be very strong. If a person is not emotionally strong and cannot solve his own problems, he will not be able to solve problems for others and so he won’t be a right fit.

    The speaker then ended his session sharing few examples of transformational leaders such as Asad Omer and Abdul Manaan etc.

  8. The ideas and the knowledge that I receive from the guest speaking session from the Mr. Abbas Sajid sales head in the ATLAS Investment. The session was on the topic Transformational Leadership. So today I am discussing whatever I have learned from the session. Mr. Abbas Sajad has been working for 25 years and he has worked for 4 to 5 companies. Some of the questions he asked which makes us to think directly about the leadership. He asked that what will be your drive to become a leader. And he also asked that what does it entail to be a good leader?
    He has also discussed that that leaders are not that are self appointed they are the one who are chosen. He also adds that leaders are the one who inspire others to become a leader. According to him, there is something in every individual which tell to become a leader, you want yourself at high to feel that feeling of leadership. He tells us that leaders are the one who think selflessly and leader cannot work in the isolation. He gave the example like if we are thinking in the direction that this is my goal and this my vision and I think that I am right and the organization should work in that direction only because I think that this the right way so, If a person is doing like that so he is not a leader. Leader is the one who gives equality; he is the rational and the logical decision maker. Leadership he defines that leadership is an art not a science. There are something which is perceive as different but they are different in actual so leader has to understand. Larger the organization work load will be greater and right person at the right place this is all you need so in this way leadership is not easy it is very painful. According to him not all transformational efforts lead to success sometimes it leads towards disasters. Leadership is very difficult it gives emotional stress, work stress to transform a company. For this a leader has to be open, interactive if he wants the high growth so it is important. Leader has to motivate the people that are working so he should keep the people motivated because people are the resource of the company. It is require from the leader to give respect, recognition and reward to the employees. Leader is the one who takes the responsibility of 100 people in each and everything. According to him more skilled you are the more experience you will be. A person need to be more humble if he wants to be successful in the life. Leader always frame the vision like where we want to take our company in 2 to 3 years. Single person cannot do everything so he keeps himself a team. If people who are not able to bear the stress or he is he is emotionally weak or hi EQ is high so this person cannot become a leader.

    2. In the first session Abbas Sajjad, Head Marketing and sales of Atlas Asset Management starts from saying that inspire to become leader, they have your own vision and they want yourself at high pedestal.
      Leaders are not chosen or not self appointed and have own thinking and values. Leaders should be selfless or put his preferences at back.

      He added leadership cannot work in isolation. Leaders need to rational and logical in decision and come out of their self. Transformation is very difficult and painful process. Transformational efforts lead to success and sometimes are also disastrous. This stressful, emotional, work stress and thoughtful process and taking people along. He quoted an example that in technological industry, companies need to innovate with time so leadership has to get people along to bring change.

      He also mentioned the changes with time occur in the business environment in terms of technology, methods of doing operations and standards. So the leaders are the people who bring these changes by getting people along and explain advantages which will attain by accepting the new changes to become successful e.g. different systems used for operations i.e. SAP etc.

      Leaders keep the people motivated and give them resources, authority, decision making power, respect, reward and recognition. Leaders have to be tough at times. With high (EQ) people, they should not become leaders because they decline to lead. Leaders need to be on toes when transform and should take all responsibility.

      The more you skilled, experience and visionary then you can become able to meet challenges which will occur in future. The more you are humble, the more you will be successful. The success is related with common sense. Leaders should not think that they are superior then their followers or employees. Create an environment where all functions and personnel are integrated with each other.

      He gave an example of HBL that it is considered as to have best management. People work or lead on small pockets and transform others. Give freedom to work bounded with vision to achieve.

  9. Guests speaking session of Mr. Abbas Sajid on transformational Leadership. He is the Head of Sales & Marketing at Atlas Asset Management Limited: He said that

    Leaders are not self-appointed, they are chosen. They inspire to become leader. They lead and inspire because of who they are and how they interact with others.
    Leader has projection and feeling what he wants to do but leadership can’t work in isolation. Leaders cannot lead without followers. To become leader, you have to be very rational throughout. Emotional Quotient should be very high for Leadership, the ability to be wisely in tune with yourself and your emotions, as well as having sound situational awareness is a powerful tool for leading a team. The act of knowing, understanding, and responding to emotions, overcoming stress in the moment, and being aware of how your words and actions affect others.

    When technology related problem or any other problem appears than you should know that there is a need for change. In some companies, transformation comes into disaster because of poor leadership. Leader has to be interactive, psychologically taking people along in long run. Implementation of SAP is due to change in mindset & technology. It is about empowering employees and allowing them to use their unique talents and insights to make your organization an even better place to work and an even better place to do business. People don’t want to work with company if something bad happened with their colleagues, co-workers and friends in the same company. Three R’s are very important; Respect, Reward & Recognition either its CEO, Dean, General Manager, Sales person – at every level or at every position these three R’s are very important and effective to lead team. Leader is the one who can take 100% responsibility and 360 degree paradigm shift. Leaders guide their employees and let them shine.

    Humility is key to effective leadership & high performance. It is the humility to admit that only your way isn’t the only way or even that some people are better at certain roles than you. The humble leader accepts these truths and allow other’s strengths to work for the good of the team or organization without interference. Humility makes a best leader, otherwise it would backfire eventually. If you are going to introduce new technology, then it’s very important to transform the mind of people to realize the importance of that new technology. Leaders should frame the vision for next three to five years.

  11. Mr.Abbas is a very amazing and aspiring person who shared his experiences. According to him leaders are not self appointed, they are chosen. They aspire to become leaders. They think selflessly and always keep vision in front of their eyes. He believed that a leader cannot work in isolation. He needs his followers to follow his footprints and work together with a single thought and vision. It is very important for a leader to make everyone part of a big whole. He has to be rational and logical. Being a leader is not some science but an art. Leader is the one who is not always a very popular person but he is the one who is usually unpopular silent one and simply inspires people.
    Transformational Leader has a very difficult job when it’s time to bring in change as transformation is the most painful and lengthy process. At times transformation is disastrous if the leader is emotionally unstable. Therefore, a leader has to be emotionally sound and stable. Because it is the leader who needs to stand by his people and make them flow in a given direction. A transformational leader is the one who respect, reward and recognize his people and gives courage to face challenges shaping their visions according to that of the organization. They are very skilled and experienced people.
    In a nutshell leaders are the people who are visionaries and inspire others. They are the ones who have ability to take their team forward and work together with them and direct them in a direction. They are the ones who encourage and boost confidence of their employees and above all they are the most empathetic people. They understand and solve their problems in order to help them focus on a single thought that is the ultimate goal of the organization.

  12. Mr. Abbas Sajjid, Head of sales and marketing at Atlas Asset management shared his revel in approximately how transformational management shapes up the company subculture. He started out his lecture by way of making it clean that leaders are not self-appointed as a substitute they may be chosen. according to him a transformational leader desires to be selfless and desires to care approximately others this is the only manner his is turning into a super leader. in keeping with him a leader needs to look at anybody equally or else he can’t be popular. in line with him for the duration of his corporate years some thing he has discovered, a few things stand out and one in every of them being that a leader can handiest be someone who can control his stress and everybody who can not control his feelings isn’t always in shape to be a leader because to be you want to go through lots of instances in which you are affected from emotions of various sort however it’s far extremely essential which you do not specific those feelings or maybe in case you do turn them into fine feelings and doing so is not any ordinary venture that is manner not anybody can be a leader.
    He distinct the significance of 3Rs: Respect , reward and recognition. He centered on that each CEO should take after the 3Rs with a particular end aim to be powerful. management is intense; in this manner, he clarified that a person with high EQ isn’t affordable to land up a leader with a better EQ will have the ability to adapt as much as his emotions. A leader have to be on his feet all of the time all together change his organization. he’s the person who ought to assume a 100% legal responsibility of everything. In association if there’s any difficulty and it goes to the leader’s room then around then he should have the potential to comprehend it right away. this is the 360 worldview. In authority visionary and otherworldly existence aptitudes are vital. The greater skilled you are the higher it’s miles. there may be no substitution of experience.
    furthermore, he accentuated that it is a must for a leader have to have humility. if a leader is humble together with his employees it will be more effective and personnel will work in a higher manner.
