But still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
And because I cannot do everything
I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
Edward Everett Hale
Dear Leaders,
As we all agreed during the session, the first fundamental of leadership is to BE FIRST and to be a role model to the people we lead. As leaders, we have the ability and authority to influence our people to greatness by setting the right pace, raising the standard and creating a conducive work environment.
Therefore, for things to change we as leaders must change the way we act, react, deal with our people and play our roles.
How do you make such changes happen? We know that ‘theory’ is neat and simple but to make it a reality is the hardest part. We also believe in incremental changes and know that change doesn't happen overnight.
In order to bring changes to the way we lead, we would like you to participate in the Leadership Fundamentals Action Plan by following the simple steps below :-
1. Identify at least 3 ideas from the list of ideas from the previous postings that you can implement immediately. (just click on the following links)
How to encourage people and create a good / conducive working environment?
How to be a Role Model and setting the right pace at workplace?
2. Please email them to zahidi.ishak@simedarby.co.nz for record and follow-up purposes not later than 14 March 2009
3. For the next 60 days implement your 3 chosen ways of setting the right pace or creating a positive environment, monitor the changes you see and then at the end of 60 days advise Zahidi what happened.
We believe that this initiative could be the first in a thousand steps to success. The choice is in our hands and as leaders, we need to be the first and lead by example.
Thanking you in advance for your participation in this programme and we look forward to hearing your success story.
Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.
