Through his work in academia and public speaking, he consistently raises challenging yet necessary questions<\/strong> about the leadership vacuum<\/strong> in Pakistan.<\/p> \u201cIf leadership is the root, then everything else\u2014education, economy, justice\u2014is just the fruit.\u201d \u2014 Khizer Ahmed Zaki<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t One of the most powerful themes in this podcast is the definition of leadership <\/strong>beyond titles, social media, and tribal loyalty.<\/p> This segment challenges the notion that leadership is about dominance or charisma and repositions it as service, sacrifice, and moral clarity<\/strong>.<\/p> We don\u2019t lack leadership positions in Pakistan. We lack leaders with vision and accountability.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Drawing on Islamic teachings, Khizer Ahmed Zaki outlines the Prophetic model of leadership<\/strong>:<\/p> Rasulullah (PBUH) led with character, not control. His greatest power was love not fear.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote> This segment invites listeners to reflect on how far modern political leadership has strayed<\/strong> from the prophetic example.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t One of the most hard-hitting segments in this podcast is the analysis of Pakistan’s failing education system <\/strong>not just in terms of infrastructure<\/strong>, but in its ideological emptiness<\/strong>.<\/p> – <\/span>Why are students discouraged from asking real questions?<\/strong> \u201cWe teach obedience, not ownership. Our schools produce employees\u2014not leaders.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p> The guest offers practical reforms to restructure education around purpose, creativity, and ethical responsibility<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t The conversation takes a deeply personal turn as it tackles a haunting truth:<\/p> \u201cIn this country, the price of being good is often higher than the reward of being corrupt.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p> This segment calls on listeners to rethink their role in politics\u2014not just as voters, but as future leaders.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t In the age of viral videos and trending slogans, the podcast examines:<\/p> How popularity is replacing principle<\/strong><\/p><\/li> Why superficial branding<\/strong> is chosen over moral courage<\/strong><\/p><\/li> How the youth are misled by cosmetic success<\/strong><\/p> \u201cWe call influencers leaders. But who\u2019s influencing our<\/em> future?\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t The episode concludes with one of the most important questions: \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Should reforms start with the education system<\/strong>?<\/span> \u201cUntil we redefine leadership as service<\/em>, no reform will last.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p> This podcast is a wake-up call<\/strong>\u2014not just to leaders, but to every citizen<\/em> who wishes to build a better Pakistan.<\/p> \ud83d\udccc Watch Now:<\/strong> \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\tMeet Our Esteemed Guest: Khizer Ahmed Zaki<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
