"How, regulations, and ability often can overcome the enemy. Actually always win because they make their first information about the situation. "
~ Sun Zi's Art of War
the sooner the better. Act quickly in any business in the field will give us victory. Strangely, we often close the path-path of success with our own acts is very slow. Slow thinking, slow learning, slow search, slow, and so seize the opportunity. So that only our own bewildered because other people first. The words "if only" is often said pitch-side search of justification for why the action was slow as a solace.
Again, there are stories from the land of bamboo curtains that can be adopted to appl
y in our efforts to serve us in any field. Perhaps in the Northern Wei era, men have named Liu Bao. He is a meat traders in traditional markets. Business is very profitable so that he can save more money to expand the business. Aware that the progress obtained with the speed of information then he build a central information office in the middle of the city. So that it will be very easy and quickly obtain information that the market requires. He will soon find out quickly which areas need the rice as drought, he would send the rice. Similarly with the area that requires post-flood agricultural equipment, he is buying agricultural equipment with cheaper prices in other areas and then sell them with higher rates in areas that are in need. So forth. The speed and efficiency of business information management is helping to get rich very quickly. He purchased some property and sell it again with a high price. Bao Liu also became very rich.
So, let alone the speed of information we now live in the era of the information will be very much determined not to grow our business. There is no word late. For this we may be too slow to move because of fear we will fail or be in doubt us. We can only fear and doubt, but not to fear and doubt that does not make us act at all. In fact during our act, we can not fail even if the result is not in line with expectations. But if we do not act at all, surely we have failed.
During our act, if the result is still naught, we will certainly gain experience that will be made to future learning. We will analyze whether the reset of the way that we are less precise, so that we will explore more ways to reach our goal. Thus the "failure" will be words that are not important in our lives if we assume that the failure of "no" for us to act. And "failure" will be the most important word in our lives if we made the failure of the place of learning. Of course, not enough to act alone if we are not quick to do so. Moreover, the information will be opportunities that we already get akan futile if we do not act quickly. The sooner the better. Problems can back to our re-analysis.
We understand that leadership is not the position or positions. Therefore officials, those who manage office, not necessarily appropriate in a leader. See a number of officials who came down from the occupation, either because of retirement or derived, in part so convict even in the eyes of law as it related to corruption; experiencing some post-power syndrome. If he really a leader, without his even more people will still follow them. Even for the leaders at the Bung Karno large, Bung Hatta, and Bung Syahrir, after they died was a lot of people still proudly claim as his partisan.
We understand that leadership is working. How to become a leader is simply: do-it works only leaders who choose to do such type of work they are not the leaders will avoid it. And it is not necessary to do anything except themselves. Great wealth is not necessary, because the leader does not also me-rich legend. Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, and Nelson Mandela is an example. They also start a "career" as a leader without a familiar name capital, without the support of political parties or conglomerates that extraordinary. They start their work with the stock pickup.
Then, if the job is? What if the work is done to make sure someone becomes a leader? Perhaps this is three.
First, the leader of the process of idealization, of the things that ideal. Leaders see the reality of the present as something that is not ideal, should not be here, and imagine something ideal, which should have, and that really can form, in a moment later. So, thought leaders in the future. Leaders deal with the future. Precisely a better future for everyone in the neighborhood.
Because the work is always associated with the leaders of the future, then it is the signs of age. He read the situation and conditions in a way that special way which makes it able to be optimistic. He was able to see opportunity in every challenge that flag. That is the first leadership job, in the world, throughout time.
Second, leaders are always enthusiastic to formulate what the ideal is to be something simple and easily communicated to people, especially to the constituents that follow the voluntary. Galib formula that we call a vision, a vision far ahead of potential that can be created by making a series of specific events in the present time.
Bung Karno talk about free and Indonesia bhineka single ika. Bung Hatta talk concerning economic populist. Gandhi, King, and Mandela spoke concerning resistance without violence. Mother Teresa spoke matter of love to the poor. All the vision of a simple formula, but powerless outside normal movement, when communicated with great confidence that, with the totality of an inch away without profit.
Third, the leaders always offer the action agenda. They find the best strategies. They take action. They gather people to move. They collaborate, conduct coalition, a partnership of cooperation startegis, or whatever the name and the same term with that. They can not be silent, even though sometimes they are forced to wait the right time to act.
Vision is great, and clearly a source of inspiration that never dry to find the way to. Discuss the vision are already excited to make them act immediately. And in every action (process) is the vision, the leader gives himself total, nearly without consideration. He gives his heartfelt good-time, energy, thoughts, feelings, and property-less and very thinking itself. Pamrihnya the main, if the intention can be said, is to make that vision become real, become a reality and historical facts that make the new world around it better.
In the context of business, the leaders need to think hard to do the idealization of business led it at this time. How idealkah circumstances dipimpinnya the company at this time, when the United States defeated by their own creation which greed? Can the leaders in various business-pressure crisis and the chronic pessimism global-imagine the form of a better, more perfect, and more from any of the means now exist? Able to do it-through reality and seems to be "not realistic" because the ideal of thinking?
If the form is idealization, then the next challenge is how to formulate it into vision, the organization's vision, the vision konglomerasi, which is understood by all constituents, workers, and followers. If ever there was a vision, how to revise things that are important in the formulation of new, more "soul" and "loud noise". Formulation and reformulasi vision On the one hand, and serious efforts to discuss it on the side, are two pieces of one currency, one that not much useful without the other.
Next, the action agenda should be based on strategies that update, which has been the development of a claim by diperkaya time, take advantage of the ingenuity in the best-acumen business-related organizations. This is the stock for the managers to act in the field from time to time, but the responsibility for any consequences incurred remain in the lead-shoulder.
So, the leaders o: work!
