In today’s struggling society, it is very difficult to be patient. As a leader, you must be able to carry a heavy load without literally going out of your mind.<BR/><BR/>You have to know that not everything is always going to go your way. You will have people that don’t do what you say, and you get upset but you can’t let them see you sweat.<BR/>You have to be able to suppress all the things around you that may trigger your emotions, causing you to act out of leadership qualities.<BR/><BR/>Patience means that you are going to have to put up with some things that are going to make you feel annoyed, angry, etc.<BR/><BR/>David.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.selfhelpzone.com/" REL="nofollow"> Self help zone</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10313978.post-88590818921962352542007-03-07T06:15:00.000-08:002007-03-07T06:15:00.000-08:00I like those points... point 5 in particular.

At the same time, the management and executive training programs included many structured experiences -- lectures, case studies, group projects, workshops -- collectively referred to as "Crotonville courses," as well as planned job rotations.

An early catalyst in his thinking was a story he did on GE. "They all knew each other," he told me. The rotation of assignments and shared Crotonville experiences forged a social network before it was called that.<BR/><BR/>Jack once said, "We soon discovered how essential it is for a multibusiness company to become an open, learning organization. The ultimate competitive advantage lies in an organization's ability to learn and to rapidly transform that learning into action.And, in GE's boundaryless learning culture, the operative assumption is that someone, somewhere, has a better idea; and the operative compulsion is to find out who has that better idea, learn it, and put it into action fast."jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16271633210993298646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10313978.post-81915822645557777142007-02-14T08:31:00.000-08:002007-02-14T08:31:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16271633210993298646noreply@blogger.com
