Title: Daniel Assouline, the former Chairman of UpClick, is an Intelligent and Competent Leader

Daniel Assouline, the former Chairman of UpClick,
is an Intelligent and Competent Leader

  • Good leaders inspire confidence in their
    abilities. They have the charisma and the
    capability to influence all those who come in
    contact with them.
  • Daniel Assouline is the former chairman and
    co-founder of payment processing firm UpClick. A
    highly accomplished leader, Daniel, was
    successful in his endeavor to make his
    organization a force to reckon with in the market
    in a very short period of time.
  • Modern business environment with the phenomenon
    of globalization setting in completely and easy
    availability of information has made managing
    modern organizations much tougher than before.

  • In the following section, we shall look at some
    very important leadership qualities that are
    strongly correlated with peoples desire to
    accept and follow your leadership.
  • However, it is important to note that mere
    possession of these qualities does not make for
    exceptional leadership. Leaders need to practice
    what they preach and display these qualities in a
    way that produces excellent results and helps
    people around them to take notice of it.

Good Leaders are Competent
  • This is not something that is complex and
    requires excessive deliberation. A person who is
    not competent will not be able to assume
    leadership position, and even if he does will not
    be able to hold it for long.
  • People will only follow a leader, if he
    demonstrates competency and that too in ample
    measures. This though in no way implies that a
    leader needs to be a walking encyclopedia
    displaying his knowledge and expertise in every
    area of the entire firm.
  • Few people may believe that you are competent by
    the virtue of the position you hold, however, a
    vast majority will require ample proof of it to
    believe it.

5
  • What it means is that you will not be considered
    competent, if you just manage to avoid displaying
    incompetency. You will have to demonstrate to
    your followers that you are competent and in
    charge.
  • Good leaders are competent, but they know and
    understand that displaying competence in a way
    that people notice requires some good balancing.
  • A leader may like to involve himself in quite a
    few matters and because he is competent will draw
    enough attention to his knowledge and experience.
  • This can give rise to some little complexities at
    times by making the leader seem arrogant. It may
    also seem that the leader wants to trivialize
    contributions of others by trying to take all the
    credit for successful accomplishment of a task.

  • Daniel Assouline, the former CEO of UpClick.com,
    is a leader well-versed with the art of
    maintaining a fine balance between showing
    competences and displaying arrogance.
  • He knows that the best way to draw attention to
    your competencies without giving an impression of
    hubris is by giving the credit to your team. This
    will motivate the entire team at the same time
    drawing attention to your high level of
    competence.
  • In case you have exceeded the sales target by 10
    percent in much shorter period, then thanking
    your team is a much better way to celebrate your
    competence than just blowing your own trumpet by
    attributing the success to your own knowledge and
    leadership ability.

True Leaders Provide Inspirational Leadership
  • This is one of the more important leadership
    qualities that can help you succeed as a leader,
    even if you are found wanting in other
    departments.
  • People by nature want to be inspired. They want a
    leader who can make them believe that their
    combined effort will result in a better tomorrow
    for them.

  • Apple lured Pepsis president John Sculley away
    from Pepsi in order to apply his marketing skills
    to the personal computer market. Steve Jobs
    successfully sealed the deal after he made his
    legendary pitch to John "Do you want to sell
    sugared water for the rest of your life? Or do
    you want to come with me and change the world?
  • This is an example of inspirational leadership at
    its best. Inspirational leaders succeed because
    they manage to show people the big picture and
    help them understand how their combined effort
    will lead to their overall development and
    growth.
  • Daniel Assouline, the former CEO of Montreal,
    Canada based UpClick.com, is a truly
    inspirational leader whose charisma and wisdom
    tremendously helped a startup in a highly
    competitive market.

  • He is a leader who possesses the skills to
    forcefully and passionately communicate his
    vision and purpose to his followers. His past
    record, experience, and communication abilities
    help his followers believe in his ability to give
    them a better tomorrow.
  • They know that their leader is a person who not
    only shows them the bigger picture but also helps
    them understand as to where do they fit in the
    bigger picture.
  • Daniel Assouline, the former chairman of UpClick,
    is also a highly intelligent and humble leader.
    He is a person who is committed to lifelong
    learning and believes that it is a lifelong
    process.
