The past week left me really tired and demotivated. When you are stuck with people who have negative vibes, you get influenced too..and they drag you down..down..I need positive people around me who complain less and work more. It's been very challenging trying to get people to work. This reminded me of a discussion with Bill (former PET teacher in my old school) on what leadership really meant. I think I summed it well- 'Leadership is getting people to do what they don't want to do' and Bill totally agreed! I have not been able to do most of the things I want to do because people hate change. They are too comfortable in their little comfort zone ('results are good so why kill yourself?' But when results are poor, go after the GC!!) and change is seen as threatening. But if you think about it carefully, the only permanent thing is change really. Even politicians talk about 'change or be changed'!

The week that was...
Salam and hi,
The past week left me really tired and demotivated. When you are stuck with people who have negative vibes, you get influenced too..and they drag you down..down..I need positive people around me who complain less and work more.

I think I summed it well- 'Leadership is getting people to do what they don't want to do' and Bill totally agreed! I have not been able to do most of the things I want to do because people hate change. They are too comfortable in their little comfort zone ('results are good so why kill yourself?'
