7 ideas O PEN S OURCE M ANAGEMENT
1) HARD WORK HAS CHANGED!
COMFORT ZONE
ComfortableUncomfortable == Consuming valueCreating value
2) DEVELOP LEADERSHIP
PROBLEMS
Control To get things to go as you wish (the ability to influence something positively)
Responsibility –THE FEELING OF BEING THE ONLY ONE IN CHARGE OF SOMETHING –=–= –THE ABILITY TO SEE ONESELF AS “THE CAUSE”
PROBLEM CAUSE (=Source point) EFFECT (=Receipt Point)
Cause and Effect To solve a problem or to handle succesfully a situation we need to see ourselves as “the cause” of such situation. If we aren’t able to do it, it is the situation that will control us. If we are not capable of seeing ourselves as the cause of the reaction of our customers and the performance of our people, we are indeed leaving the control to them. Case history scuola
LEADERSHIP A LEADER IS SOMEONE WHOSE REQUESTS ARE EXECUTED WITH PRIDE. In order to develop leadership you must feel fully responsible for the behavior of the people you are leading. When something goes wrong it’s not them, IT IS YOU!
If you want things to change… The first one who has got to change it’s you.
