cu obiectivul final in minte
“Decisions should not be taken out of pride or embarrassment, but out of pure strategy” – zice Nelson Mandela in cartea Long Way to Freedom.
Un gand deosebit care are si mai multa greutate pentru ca vine de la un om care in anii ‘90 putea sa plateasca o multime de polite albilor din Africa de Sud pentru ceea ce a patit. Nu a facut-o pentru ca nu l-ar fi ajutat cu absolut nimic in atingerea viziunii sale.
Un gand care este valabil cand vine vorba de conducerea unei tari, realizarea unei revolutii, dar si in viata de zi cu zi, in actiunile de marketing, finante, hr, etc ale firmei.
Greutatea de multe ori vine din lipsa reflexului de a gandi pe termen lung – cu obiectivul final in minte. Ce vrem noi de fapt sa facem? Ce vrem sa obtinem la final?
“We resolved to call off the strike. A three day strike that is canceled on the first day is only a one day failure; a strike that fails three days running is a fiasco. It was humiliating to have to retreat, but we felt it would have been more humiliating not to. Less than an hour after we had released a statement calling off the strike, the government run South African Broadcasting Corporation read our announcement in full. Normally, the SABC ignored the ANC altogether; only in defeat did we make their broadcasts. This time, they even complimented us on our decision. This greatly annoyed Moses Kotane. “to be praised by the SABC, that is too much”, he said, shaking his head. Kotane questioned whether we had acted too hastily and played into the state’s hands. It was a legitimate concern, but decisions should not be taken out of pride or embarrassment, but out of pure strategy - and strategy here suggested we call off the strike. The fact that the enemy had exploited our surrender didn’t mean we were wrong to surrender”.
O carte deosebita.
O s-o citesc.
A propos de libertate… ultimul lucru care m-a inspirat: “A truly free man has no secrets”, James Hetfield. Nu e Mandela, dar cred ca are dreptate
ti-o imprumut eu daca vrei
multumesc!
O voi citi
