Путь истинного лидера

Будда учит, что самая большая ценность, которую человеку дано иметь , - это его уверенность в себе.

Существуют два явления, которые мешают человеку увидеть действительность такой, какой она есть на самом деле, - принятие желаемого за действительное и размышление над проблемами прошлого так, как будто они существуют до сих пор.

Dhald Bunnag, the Buddhist CEO of AIG Thailand, offers an additional way to see the role of the organization:

For me, the purpose of my business is to build a team of successful people with high morale, good attitude, and good faith. Building the agency force to sell insurance is to teach them to bring benefits to others. Profits are just an end result, rather that the purpose of business.

Once you have clarified your organization's purpose, one of your next responsibilities as a leader is to define the values and principles that management and employeers will adhere to when making decisions. Such statements of values go by many names, such as "codes of ethics", "codes of сonduct", or "corporate responsibility statements".

Leaders realize their dependence on others but often do not fully understand how dependent they are on other people outside their control - the customers and the media, for example. But the best leaders are very aware not only of their influence on others, but also of others ' influence on them and their organization.
