• Leading a modern organization is not the easiest
  of tasks. Ever changing market dynamics and rapid
  technological advances need a proactive leader.
  Michael Dadoun, the CEO of payment processing
  company UpClick is a person with highly
  proactive personality.
• A modern CEO has to create opportunities for
  growth and development, show a positive
  inclination towards taking meaningful actions and
  work tirelessly to get results for his
  organization as well as his clients.
• A leader has to be a quick thinker, fast decision
  maker, and a great communicator, along with
  having relationship building skills among other
  competencies to be successful. In the following
  section we shall discuss some of the
  characteristics that help leaders steer their
  companies towards greater success.

Forward Thinking Approach

• The ability to plan for the future and think
  ahead of time is one of the most important
  characteristic that differentiates a successful
  leader from a mediocre one.
• Great leaders down the ages have been real
  visionaries who anticipated ahead of time the
  challenges and opportunities the business is
  going to encounter in the near future. They knew
  beforehand what the consumers will need in future
  and start working towards it immediately.
• An ability to peak into the future enables good
  CEOs to steer away their organizations from
  potential threats. This also helps them to cash
  in on future opportunities. They inspire
  confidence as they have the communication skills
  to communicate their vision and strategy to their
  subordinates.

Good Leaders are Fearless and Calculated Risk
Takers

• Everything tells me that I am about to make a
  wrong decision, but making mistakes is just part
  of life. What does the world want of me? Does it
  want me to take no risks, to go back to where I
  came from?? Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes
• A person who is comfortable remaining in his
  comfort zone is unlikely to make a successful
  CEO. Modern leadership is all about taking and
  confronting challenges. A good leader never shies
  away from taking risks or postponing things just
  because there is an element of risk involved.

• It has been often witnessed that failure to
  properly mange risks and develop riskfocused
  culture has spelled doom for many flourishing
  organizations. Superior quality leaders are
  calculated, not reckless, risk takers. The
  ability to manage risk is an important barometer
  of a CEOs effectiveness.
• In a highly complex and chaotic business
  environment where volatility is order of the day,
  a great leader has to be on the constant lookout
  for finding new and innovative ways of managing,
  avoiding, and taking risks.
• Economic downturn, recession, competitive
  rivalry, etc. have greatly heightened market
  volatility. Modern organizations have to struggle
  continuously with market risk, credit risk,
  operational risk, etc. It needs to develop a
  robust and strong risk coping structure in order
  to survive and prosper in a crisis.

  energy chasing short term and passing fads. He

  performance he expects from others.

Good Leaders see Customer as the King

• Organizations exist because of customers and not
  vice-versa. You are only in the business as long
  you receive their active patronage. Successful
  leaders as such are focused on finding ways to
  come up with innovative products and services
  that can make their life easier.
• It is imperative for organizations to develop
  their products or services keeping the needs and
  requirements of the customers. Good CEOs have
  started interacting with their clients in a more
  direct and personal way.
• Many organizations have started providing access
  to customers in their boardroom. It in fact makes
  a lot of sense, as who can help you come up with
  solid offerings more than the interested party?

• A large number of CEOs have regular meetings with
  their clients. This enables them to have a more
  thorough understanding of customer needs and
  requirements and help their organizations develop
  better products.
• Michael Dadoun is a highly customer centric
  leader who treats his clients like kings. He has
  this uncanny ability to keep his clients involved
  to more effectively fulfill their expectations as
  well as meet the goals and objectives of the

Conclusion

• A modern organization more often than not has to
  plough its boat in a ruffled sea. There are a lot
  of risks and an organization can only be
  successful if it has a CEO who has built an
  effective and efficient risk managing culture in
  his organization.
• The other important thing is for the leaders to
  have a vision and the ability to property
  communicate that vision to their subordinates.
  They need to lead by example to inspire trust in
  the employees of their organizations as well as
  in their clients.
• Michael Dadoun is a leader who is a calculated
  risk taker. He has never shown to buckle under
  severe stress or postpone decision making for
