Today i went to a training held in UTAR, "Leadership & Teambuilding". Apparently the speaker - Capt. Ariva is one of the most successful person in leadership maybe. According to him, he became a captain of a ship when he was 28, he was the youngest captain in Asia, he own 6 company right now, and i estimate his age is about 40+ but he just looks so young!
Ok, those are his background. Honestly i went to so many talks so far, most talk about leadership, including this.
I believe a theory, that i first learnt it from my dad:
One day, i was in my dad's car, and looking out of the window when he was driving. I saw a group of construction workers were stacking stones to build wall beside the road, to prevent landslide that kind of things happened. I was amazed that how could they use those stones with various kind of shapes, that actually build the wall is flat when you look from one side.
Then i asked my dad this question.
He laughed and answered me: "You don't have to know how to build it, you just have to order somebody build it for you and make sure that it won't collapse!"
Great answer.
After that, i received more ideas on "How to be a good leader?" from seminars and talks, they taught me as a leader, you must be energetic, must have a group of masterminds assisting you, must be able to lead a team...
All these information is just theory, they told you how to do, but can all these information be implemented successfully? I was doubt.
Last year, i got the chance that actually practice all the concept i learnt into real life, but is not an easy task. More problems popped out that failed to get suitable solutions. More questions that i still can't get the answers yet.
How?
I will find them one day.
