Kamran Malek and Leadership

Kamran Malek likes to participate in leadership development programs in Alabama. He uses these chances to engage with current business associates and future young leaders that will shape the world. Throughout his time teaching leadership qualities, he has learned the differences between the role of a boss and that of a true leader.

 In most professional circles, the term leader and boss are used interchangeably, though they are two completely different principles at the root. Every boss, supervisor, or person of power in the business world should strive to be a leader. This is due to the fact that leaders breed a happier, healthier, and more productive team and environment.

• A boss will drive their employee through their authority or through the act of fear. This is commonly seen when a supervisor tells an employee to do a specific task “now” followed by a threat of losing their job. Leaders, on the other hand, will find a way to get the same task completed, without the negativity. Instead of driving the employee, they will coach and mentor them to the proper behavior and procedures. A leader's goodwill nature will offer enthusiasm that is contagious.

• Many bosses or supervisors have not earned their title through actual hands-on knowledge. This is not to say that they are unfit for their position, but they may not really know the intricacies of what their employees are tasked with each day. A leader, like Kamran Malek, not only knows what to do, but can show others the same.

Kamran Malek's Experience with Youth Soccer

Spending many afternoons and weekends coaching a youth soccer league in Alabama has Kamran Malek many lessons of his own. While in the professional world he is the President of International Fire Protection Inc., he sees that being involved in the leadership and mentoring of children is a cause that is worthwhile. Reaching his young players and helping to mold them into well-rounded athletes and citizens takes patience and an ability to relate to the young mind.
                                            

• Teaching the game of soccer to children is similar to training employees of his company in that everyone must start with the basics. The fundamentals of the game are possibly the most important aspect to learn. Without that foundation, it is difficult for a child to move forward and become their best at the sport. This also means that the rules of the game are a vital concept to learn. Just as in life and their future careers, rules are going to be a common occurrence.
• Another aspect of coaching children's soccer that is sometimes overlooked is the health of each child. If the team members are not cared for properly from a physical and nutritional standpoint, they will have more trouble on the field. Promoting health and physical wellness will lead to greater coaching success. This is another area where youth sports and professional business intersect in theory.
• Group sports such as soccer provide opportunities for coaches to help children develop character. Kamran Malek has witnessed these lessons on the field led to a growth in the next generation.

Kamran Malek and How to Afford a Pilot's License

Kamran Malek is the President of International Fire Protection Inc. in Alabama and is also fortunate to hold a private pilot's license. His experience has taught him how expensive the endeavor can be, and the many ways a person can afford the associated costs.
                                                  

• There are generally two types of people who seek their private pilot's license, those who are standard civilians and those who are in school to train as a pilot. Many pilots do not attend a two or four year college to attain a degree that involves flight. These people must rely on extracurricular activities and lessons to achieve their flight status goals.
• Potential private pilots must spend as much time as possible in the air. This includes the roles of passengers and observers, pilots under supervision, and solo flights if they are deemed ready. That flight time is crucial to a swift time of study and eventual licensing.
• Practicing while on the ground is also a good way to learn maneuvers and lingo more quickly. Again, the quicker one can learn, the cheaper the entire proposition will become. Even by simply practicing the moves and checklists of a flight while sitting in a desk chair, a potential pilot can become more familiar with the process. Doing exercises like this helps to build muscle memory and sharper reaction times.
• When learning to pilot a plane, time is money. When students have to spend extra time getting organized they are missing out on precious flight time with their instructor, a lesson Kamran Malek learned well.
