School student refuses award from US ambassador / Pakistani Student Snubs U.S. Ambassador, Payback For Attack

ISLAMABAD ( 2008-06-18 23:33:51 ) :The US Ambassador in Islamabad, Anne W. Patterson faced embarrassment on Wednesday when a Pakistani student refused to receive award from her as a protest over recent US air strike in the country's tribal region.

Samad Khurrum, a school student, did not receive award at the hand of the US envoy who was chief guest at a function at the Islamabad's National Arts Gallery, participants at the function said.

Private TV channels also reported the news.

The student of a private school was quoted by the private TV channels as saying that he will not receive the award from the US ambassador to protest over deaths of Pakistanis in the US air strike.

The student also did not shake hand with the American envoy and left the stage.

"I can not receive award from the US ambassador after the attack," the student said, according to private TV channels.

Refusal of the student caused embarrassment for the American ambassador, who said that the air strike was unfortunate and that both governments are investigating the incident.

Good Managers Are Not Necessarily Good Leaders

By: Liz Weber of Liz Consults http://www.wbsllc.com

I was speaking with a client recently about his company's heir-apparent: his son.

He wants his son to take over as the company "leader" in a few years. His son is very organized.

He runs a solid department, manages his staff well, satisfies customers 90+% of the time, and manages his project and department budgets well.

However, he's lost when it comes to thinking long-term, studying the industry and competition, identifying new opportunities to pursue or ponder, or in developing the company - or his department - into stronger more viable entities.

His son is a good manager. His son may not be a good leader.

The difference in management skills and leadership skills are as vast as the difference in front-line customer service skills and supervisory skills.

Yet how often do we see the most effective customer service representative get promoted into the supervisory slot?

The typical - and quite often - incorrect thought process is, "Well, if she's great at customer service, she'll be great at supervising others too." Wrong.

Each position requires its own unique set of skills; skills that are not necessarily transferable.

Too often, by promoting the best manager or customer service representative into a position she is not suited to fill, we just end up losing a good manager or a good customer service representative and we gain a poor leader or supervisor.

Good managers are capable of tracking the daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly activities of their respective areas of responsibilities.

They're good at managing, supporting, and challenging their employees. They use the resources they have to their fullest, and regularly discover new ways to get the most out of what they already have.

They meet deadlines. They manage projects. They manage resources, facilities, people, supply chains, and customer demands. They look at the here and now. They focus on implementing the plan that's been established. They focus on getting the job done.

Leaders, on the other hand, focus on establishing the plan. They're responsible for taking the organization on journeys of growth, change, and development.

Leaders look to the outside for trends, opportunities, and hazards. They study the competition; the economy; and the shifts in cultures, trade practices, religions, ethics, philosophies, and politics.

They anticipate what the world will look like and then develop a plan to state how and where they'll fit in.

Good managers and good leaders are each vitally important to an organization. Each helps the organization's plans for the future become a reality.

However, good managers may not necessarily be good leaders. Good leaders may not necessarily be good managers. Don't lose a good manager by creating a poor leader.
