Leadership

SaTNaam Ji - dandauth bandhna ji.
 
We went on leadership course yesterday at work, all 500 managers in the company were there. From the founder and owner, all the way down to people like us - team leaders. They were inspiring us with their stories, how they became leader, how to inspire others, how to do better customer service. They said somethings that were very good. Like our Chariman said he didnt study very well, was dyslexic, he didnt go university, no one thought he would be anything. But he started selling mobile phones, then that just took off, then started internet business and that took off too!

He said he always just thought he doesn't know about management techniques and always thought he was an idiot compared to people who studied management. But, he just thought treat your co-workers with respect, trust them, and treat customers the same, be honest helpful and give good service just like what you would want if you were the customer. And he said he believes in karma - do good to others and goodness comes back.

However, he said Britsh people compalin too much, blame too much, but really he always stayed positive, no matter how big the problem, he just got on with it.

Like if you want to eat an elephant, just take one bite at a time - dont give up just because you think its going to be impossible to eat an elephant. Then once you get through that challenge, your confidence goes up, you meet more senior people and politicians and realise they are no smarter than you, so your confidence goes up again.

We met some good people and they told us their stories. Everyone is on a journey. We always avoided being leader at work, but have done ait a few times but gone back to being a worker. But people come to us for guidance when we get some expereince at somethnigin, like sports or bhagti or work. So naturally we become a leader.

But when we got home we were telling our daughters the stories and saying to them work hard and be leaders in whatever you do, you can do lots of good. Then our daughter started comapring us to our big boss, saying he is similar age look at what he has achieved compared to you. We knew what she was going to say and stopped her and told her off for comparing us to him. That was our ego getting offended, ego was still feeling that is has not really suceeded in life as much as we dreamed of. Started feelnig bad because it is apst unfulfilled desire that flared up again. We realised its all Maya, and just saif to Baba ji before going to sleep we dont need that leadership and big business and big name. And in our dream Baba ji came and sat us beside him, and Pritam anand ji came and gaveus big hug and smile too. In the morning we did our yoga, simran and sung on the vaja. We are happy to be simple singer of His praises and recite his Naam, and if He wants us to be a worker fine, or to be a leader fine as well. baba ji told us "Jiv Jiv rakay tiv tiv raaheeaa - However He keeps us , that is how we will be happy to stay."

Thanks ji.
