What inspires you?

The work that evolves from bringing change and the passion of trying to follow the footsteps of successful people in serving humanity. In our world among us there is hope and satisfaction in everyone's face but just some people wants to encourage that hope and wants to change it into the happiness of achievement. Everywhere true humanity in community exists and indeed there is a great energy for them to realize their dreams. The efforts that some people take for the change in societies minor and major that creates positive change, their efforts, their commitment to do better and their small initiatives really inspire me!

Tell us about an issue that matters to you and how you became aware and involved.

My passion is to utilize the energy of the young and make them more responsible towards addressing the problems and issues of communities and people who are in real need of attention. When I came into animation in my professional life I felt that so many other youngsters, my brothers and sisters from my country were not able to get the same, basic services like health and education. Most of the young people are misdirected due to multidimensional problems i.e. lack of facilities, unsatisfactory education, unemployment and traditional learning patterns. Then I was decided to take on my role and I have been involved in development sector and serving the needy ever since. My efforts are a drop in the sea but I am sure when we all will think like this we will make change.

Share your perspectives on what makes a good leader.

The qualities that make an effective leader have two distinct perspectives: what followers look for and what research from the past has shown. There are four things consistently that we have found that people most look for in a leader. First, people want a leader who’s honest, trustworthy and has integrity. Second, people want someone forward-looking, who has a vision of the future, foresight and thinks about the long term. Third, people want a leader who is competent, has expertise, knows what they’re doing, and fourth is a leader who is inspiring, dynamic, energetic, optimistic and positive about the future.

Do you think TakingITGlobal can help you achieve some of your goals? Have we already? Please tell us how.

Yes the access and information and the ability to communicate and share my view has shaped the way many things are done at personal and organizational levels. TakingITGlobal has surely provided many communication channels and the information has turned around a life more than will ever be known. TakingITGlobal is one of the leading communication and learning platforms for people, especially youngsters who want to learn and want their work to be for the betterment of humanity.
