Leader-in-the-making
Is always a painful journey.
Just had a conversation with a junior, he is handling the project that I’ve founded few years back.
Few things that I want to share with those who has the heart to make yourself a leader, fundamentals that you have to equip yourself with. First thing is the readiness to go thru a really downtime when things are not moving according, or funny changes happen. Very simple reason is, you’ve put your heart and soul into what you’re doing, totally understandable. But you have no reason to fall back, maybe the loneliness will be really killin, but remember, your vision and mission are waiting, your team is waiting.
Second thing is maybe the ability to find yourself back when you’re in total mess within. I called that burn-out, thanks to Michael Chan for his advise few years back, and John for his unique definition and experience sharing.
What makes a leader? I’m not sure, but I’m sure that everyone can be one, after going thru the making-of journey.
I like a quote that I’ve created for CNY SMS greeting, I believe those who received it will remember, and I’ve seen few people using it even, not bad huh?
I believe CHANGES are CHANCES for us to CREATE. Anyway, LIFE is to CREATE, ain’t it?
