Your/my passion can make this world a better place to live in

Heal the World Lyrics

This article is a continuation on the reflection regarding the generous donation made by husband wife Mark Zuckerberg of $45 billion to help make this world a better place to live in.  All ready, Leader Izumi Yamashita has pledged as she becomes more successful as a investment banker to establish a foundation to help in improving education.  In Clark, we have Dr Munoz, who said she practices Servant Leadership, to have a foundation to help the less fortunate She offered to assist anyone whom we know who are in need.   Leader Cath Villanueva has a passion to help abandoned pets.  This becomes clearer as we see more papers on Passion (that are not self directed but in the service of others) and FIP that are more formatted as personal strategic plan (hopefully SJ wishes us to be to be for love and heroism

Our passion should be the intersection of where are skills and resources are greatest, and needs of the world are greatest.  May be like the Good to Great 3 circles (for the hedgehog concept)


Circle 1 at the top -  What is your passion, what is your advocacy?  Do have intense desire to change something in this world, do you want to lead others to a new paradigm that will make this world better?   What the deepest need of this sorry world?

Circle 2 at the left -  What are your competencies and capacity?  Where can you be the best at? Where are you good at?  God gave you gifts to be made visible to others to help them.

Circle 3 at the right -  What drives your resource engine?   Do you have self sustaining business model to continue helping others?  Do you have business whose core serves others as low cost health care?  Do you have fortune large enough like Mark Z who will give everything to make the world better for his child Max?

Or are you like the woman who gave her last money to help others.  She gave everything.  This reminds us of the movie "In Pursuit of Happyness", Will Smith, lent the only $5 dollars he has in his wallet to his boss who has no change to pay for his taxi.

Discipline and obedience as key to successful leadership practice

                                 All about discipline:  people, thought, and action (execution)

Discipline and obedience

Two Cebu City leaders said they wanted to be leaders known for their emphasis on discipline.  One is a lady running an equipment  trading company.  The other a gentleman runs a power plant for  a cement factory.  It is understood that in this situation (situational leadership ha6), you need an exacting precise type of leadership. You must remember that the Chernobyl accident was not a technical failure but a  worker simply failed to turn on/off a valve, as required in during a maintenance procedure, the power plant lost water coolant, and consequently melted down.

In Rockwell, when the leadership of Xi Jinping, the president of China was mentioned, ie being totalitarian, a leader could not think how is it possible to have this kind of leadership?  Wont there be rebellion? Or pockets of dissent?  Again, if you were to lead a nation 1.3 billion strong, with past history of wars among tribes and various provinces, with 50 million politburo members, how can you be on top of the heap and control your subordinates the govt and the country? Wont you impose strict discipline and obedience.?
