One thing that I learn from being a leader is that, leaders always take the blame but not the praise. Nice!
Sabar dan Jangan Berdendam
Dalam siri Tanyalah Ustaz pada 4 Jun 2020, tetamu jemputan iaitu Ustaz Ahmad Shadan Al-Hadrami telah membicarakan tentang Dakwah Rasulullah kepada Pemimpin dan beliau menyatakan 2 tunjang utama untuk pemimpin adalah sabar dan jangan berdendam. Sebab dendam itu adalah ciri utama syaitan laknatullah. Semoga Allah membimbing kita ke jalan yang lurus.

Creativity and Leadership
To handle yourself, use your head
To handle others, use your heart
– Eleanor Roosevelt –
A leader is one who knows the way
goes the way
and
shows the way

Jenis Manusia
Ada 4 jenis manusia:
- Â Orang yang diam-diam ubi, makin diam makin berisi
- Orang yng ikut resmi padi makin berisi makin tunduk
- Orang yang seperti ayam bertelur sebiji riuh sekampung
- Orang yang seperti lalang tegak berdiri mengikut tiupan angin tiada memberi manafaat kepada manusia.
Kita kena menilai keperibadian seseorang dan lihat adakah dianya bersifat ubi, padi, ayam atau lalang. Janganlah kekuatan ayam berkokok membuat kita alpa dan terlepas pandang pada ubi yang penuh berisi. Dan jangan pulak kerana ketinggian lalang yang tumbuh menegak dan ditiup angin ke kiri dan ke kanan mengaburkan pandangan kita pada padi yang penuh berisi tapi masih tunduk menyembah bumi.
Communication is Built on Trusting Relationships – Dale Carnegie
Dale Carnegie. 1993. The Leader in You. New York: Pocket Books
- For years loudness was equated with toughness. Stubbornness was equated with superior knowledge. Argumentativeness was equated with honesty. We should all – supervisor and employee, parent and child, teacher and student – be grateful those days are finally coming to an end. (P26)
- The ability to communicate well is what lights the fire in people. It’s what turns great ideas into action. It’s what makes all achievement possible. (P27)
- “I’ve known a lot of engineers with terrific ideas who had trouble explaining them to other people. It’s always a shame when a guy with great talent can’t tell the board or a committee what’s in his head.” Lee Iacocca. (P31)
- If you can show your colleagues you are receptive to their ideas, they’re more likely to be receptive to yours – and to keep you honestly informed about the things you need to know. Show that you care about the future of the organisation and that you care as much about them. And don’t limit those displays of concern to your co-workers. Communicate the same genuine caring to your customers and your clients too. (P32)
- Follow Retton’s advice: “Being down-to-earth and humble is extremely important. I just try to put people at ease. Everybody’s the same. I think everybody is on a certain level, whether you are the CEO of a company or a salesperson. It’s just a different job.” That’s what creating a receptive environment is all about: putting people at ease. (P35).
- Once people do take the risk telling you what they think, don’t punish them for their openness. Do nothing – absolutely noting – to discourage them from taking the risk to communicating again. (P37)
- “If an employee makes a suggestion that I don’t agree with, then I have to be very delicate about the way in which I tell them I don’t agree,” … “I want to encourage them to come back to me the next time and make another suggestion. Now, I told some of the people on my staff that I may disagree with them ninety-nine times out of a hundred, but I want them to keep coming to me with their views. That’s what they get paid for. The one time out of a hundred is going to be of value, and I’m not going to view them as any weaker because I disagree with them the other times” Fred J. Sievert, chief financial officer of the New York Life Insurance Company. (P37)
