Week #2 Ch.1


Strategy1:  Never lose sight of the ultimate goal, and focus on short-term objectives.

from “Leading at the edge ” p15

 

Firstly, I cannot imagine the world of minus 128.6 degrees Fahrenheit. I will give up all hope and feel miserable if I were left in that situation.
I thought decision of Shackleton was great: everyone to back home alive.

In order to complete that shifted mission, Shackleton devote himself.
From that I thought leader should be the one who can scarify him/herself if the team face problem. Otherwise no one will follow the leader. If the parson just order to people, it is just a boss, not a leader.


In addition, coping with changeable situation is one factor of leader. Even though I am not good at planning, once I decide schedule, I used to stay the original plan even the situation changed because I am afraid of encountering new thing.  
Flexibility is key word not only for leader but also for my future.

  1. Hi Kaori,

    You are absolutely right that flexibility is so important. At the same time, don't undervalue the importance of sticking to your plan, if it continues to be the right plan.

    Let's try to do two posts each week, okay?

    Ken
