  influencing people. It is about gaining their
  commitment with the promise of a better tomorrow.
• Management is about maintaining systems and
  disciplines. Mangers ensure that the policies and
  procedures of the organizations are followed in
  totality. Employees follow them out of
  expectation of reward or fear of punishment.

• Another myth surrounding leadership is that those
  who possess higher degrees are leaders. There is

Good Leaders can extract the Best from their
Employees

• Great leaders are great visionaries. Their
  vision, however, will be of little value if they
  cannot gain their subordinates commitment to
  accomplish it. Successful leaders are those that
  have boundless energy and immense faith in their
  abilities.
• They radiate enthusiasm and ignite the flame of
  passion towards their work in their employees.
  They are excellent motivators who inspire
  enthusiasm and excitement in their employees.
• Workers are given autonomy and are encouraged to
  be innovative. The fear of failure and the
  accompanying punishment are totally eliminated.
  This gives employees the liberty of trying
  different and more efficient approaches towards
  problem solving and task accomplishment.

• How successful (or unsuccessful) an organization
  is depends to a great extent on the quality of
  leadership provided by the top management.
  Innovation, excellent customer service, and
  surpassing market expectations, among others, are
  generally exhibited by an organization that has a
  leader with a unique blend of experience and
  enthusiasm.

  processing company UpClick.com, is a leader with
  unbridled enthusiasm and an unparalleled gift of
  providing mentorship for the next generation of
  managers.

Accomplished Leaders keep their fingers on the
Pulse of the Marketplace

• Eminent leaders have a deep understanding of the
  marketplace and the opportunities and threats
  present there. They are well aware of the
  changing market conditions and evolving consumer
  tastes and preferences.
• A dynamic corporate environment and a globalized
  world have made it imperative for leaders to pay
  attention to both micro and macro environments.
  You can control your microenvironment to a
  certain extent but macro-economic factors often
  pose an altogether a different set of challenges.

• Leaders who ignore the challenges that the
  marketplace or the competition poses, economic
  factors that may have both long term and short
  term bearing on the organization, and general
  market conditions, are doomed to fail.
• Daniel Assouline, the CEO of Montreal based
  UpClick.com, is a continuous learner who has made
  it a point to keep himself abreast of the latest
  happenings in the sector his organization
  operates as well as the entire industry.

Good Leaders have the Ability to Mold themselves
according to the given situation

• Flexibility is an important criterion of success
  for a modern leader. A rigid leader who goes by
  the rules book rather than taking the path
  dictated by circumstances is sure to lead his
  organization down the disaster road.
• Great leaders are constantly in touch with the
  happenings in the marketplace so that they are
  better able to cope with the changing situations
  and circumstances.
• Daniel Assouline, the CEO of Montreal based
  UpClick.com, is a leader who knows how to mold
  himself according to the given situation. A high
  degree of flexibility and a spirit of innovation
  have made him immensely successful right from a
  very young age.

  venture without thinking about it and assessing
  the pros and cons associated with it. They are
  strategic thinkers who take all the scenarios
  into account before proceeding.

  by tremendous profits and market prestige.
