Leadership in the eyes of Mother Teresa
"Several years ago I was at a conference in San Francisco, its title was:" Architecture and engineering changes. " If it were to build bridges rather than people management. Speakers were Peter Drucker, Tom Peters, Jim Collins - the list of names reminiscent of the book contents Fri "Who's Who in management." I felt uncomfortable, he was competing in the category rather "Who is he to manage?".
The biggest impression on the participants of presentations had no management guru, but randomly arranged speech of Mother Teresa. She came to the U.S. in the 40th anniversary of the UN, asked her to gave a message.
She looked at these poor people exhausted by two days of hardusji about the "architecture and engineering changes" (God, what a crap title!) and said: - So you want to change your people. And you know them? If they do not know, they do not understand, and this means that there will be between you trust. And if there is no trust, there will be a change. You love your people? Love what you do? Because if there is no love in you, in your people is not strength. And if there is no strength in them, it will not passion. And since there is no power or passion, nobody will take the risk. And if no one ventured, nothing has changed. I do not know why I'm here because I know little about management, but if you want to change your people, you have to love them.
The leadership is not a digit, only human."
