Week9: True Leadership

 

This week I have learned that when I trust people, they are going to return the trust. It is hard to trust people, but when you trust your customers, they do return the trust!

I have learned that there are bakers and eaters. Bakers see the world as a bigger pie they need to bake, and eaters always want to get as much of the pie as much as possible, trustworthy people are bakers and not eaters. I must always default to yes if I want to be a great helper; which means that I must always ask how I can always help someone instead of how they can help me.

 

I have learned that leadership is about 3 things, which are: capability, collaboration, and character. 

I must learn ask a lot of questions and be willing to hear the answer. And customers always know what is wrong and when they say that something is wrong, then something is wrong. Customer satisfaction is key to growing of business. I must be able to ask the right questions. When I open myself to learning I am putting myself in the way to learning.

I must give myself to learning everyday if I want my business to excel.

 

I have learned that a leader is not someone who is scared that someone may take their position. A true leader does not care to be in front, but what he cares is putting his followers on the same pedestal on which he stands. True leaders are interested in the growth and development of their followers as much as themselves. Anyone who wants to always be in front is not a true leader. He is afraid that someone would take his place and it is not a good attribute.

Overall, I have learned that good is easy and because it is easy, I must do well to be great instead and not be comfortable in being good.
