The King Live, Live the King (2)


In its book “Act like a CEO”, D.A. Benton (A Queen that thinks as a King) gives 1 of the 10 rules of how thinking like a King.


  1. Be Your self, unless you are a jerk

Integrity is important; how you do your work is more important that what your work is.

D.A. Benton comments to us that at moments of true problem it is where the character of a true Director is observed, She says that the way you lose is a good test of character.

So when you have a setback, a crisis or failure, don’t be a jerk:

· Don’t be overly convinced of your own importance

· Don’t think you are the exception to the rule in doing whatever you feel like.

· Don’t act only to please you.

· Don’t break your word.

· Don’t be dishonest.

· Don’t be mean or nasty.

· Don’t kick people in the face anywhere along the way.

· Don’t yell and scream.

· Don’t embarrass other.

· Don’t turn to your associate into road kill when the going gets tough.

· Don’t be arrogant, no matter how much of a right you think you have to be arrogant.

· Don’t get good at being bad.

This is only the first principle, and as we can observe, is personal, everything is related to the individual and its character, its motivation and intention and its capacity to auto control it self.

THE KING LIVE, LIVE THE KING


THE KING LIVE, LIVE THE KING

A good king, and history and the present time this flood of them, is a Servant, and has in his coffers, original products and services to the service of his territory.

The King governs itself by Principles, which derive from the Mission and the Vision that one of them carried out in that territory of Kingdoms each prevailed by a Queen.

I have never read nor a King that sent its troops, with His best captains and soldiers to an endless Mission. And I never read o listened to this: "Captain Antonio; go to Egypt and I’ll reach you there, and what is our mission my King? I do not know, just go and give my regards to Cleopatra ".

Clear that this is inaudit, to move resources of effort, time and money whit out the knowledge of were we go and for what.

The King undertakes a Mission and the Vision in the future is great and audacious, causes a significant change in its associates, the kingdoms, the queens and the princess of the Territory that it requires to conquer.

It knows to communicate that Mission and Vision with strategies of performance with all his associates, friends and relatives. The rolls, positions and tasks are certain and the main indicators of measurement for the goals during the time also.

A King is extremely educated in his acts and in which he offers, is prepared and his equipment of conquest is in healthful conditions for action.

Why I cannot see Queens


Why I cannot see Queens.

As an entrepreneur, I go by the world observing only what I desire, the money which I want in the bank, the level of quota of sale to satisfy my preoccupations, work for my material goods and I imagine the clients like a cash register boxes with a conviction that at the first moment in which there will be open the drawer I will take the prize and they never see me again, they will called to the telephones numbers that appears in my business card and an untrained assistant answered to them badly, or a watchman of the door , the folk of maintenance, even worse ; a recording machine that will say to them; "please leave a message".

And in my long suffering as a businessmen I will say: "that barbarian clients, they only call to bother, after the service that I gave them, the time whom they cleared to me , they continue bothering, if they call again; tell them I’m out of office".

And we did not remember those words of Peter Drucker that say "the modern organization exists to provide a service for a specific society, therefore must exist within a society". And if I am not observed me and my company as a part of a society, a community or a territory to which I am serving, where are several kingdoms, commanded in his majority by QUEENS, briefly, I am not a KING.

I have stories with a mistaken information or I not investigated and created the Mission, Vision and Values that motivate my company, or simply I am believe the myths that somebody tell me.

I am going to number some of these myths:

Myth 1 Woman is Submissive and Obedient: All the opposite; they are active and they take all class of decisions and they are disobedient by nature, at the end, the work that corresponds to them they do it right , exactly since they do it, and in addition is creative and always invented a solution for each problem that is occurred. It pleases to them to be listened and that is fulfilled their desires and necessities.

Myth 2 the woman is fool and boring : Nothing is but far from the real thing, they are extremely intelligent and dynamic-amused just observe whichever tasks must draw for, colors to choose, prescriptions to mix, businesses to close, celebrations and meetings to make all the year around , and you will be surprised.

Myth 3 Woman is Faithful: Ja! Woman is unfaithful to the husband, to friends to products and services from the moment in which she knows them. Woman needs well care and to feel protected, if your products and services, affective, security and materials do not satisfy the Queen, be sure you be changed by another supplier.

Myth 4 the woman is money saver : No, woman are BUYERS and knows to do it in a professional way, do not be surprise that your product or service already has investigated it, from the rank of price, quality, characteristics, time of delivery with your competitors.

Myth 5 the woman is egoistic and stingy: Myth, myth, myth. Be sure, if you deliveries a product and service of high quality will share it with all, beginning with its relatives, their near friends and later in its labor field.

Briefly by the times of the times woman is Queen and will continue being Queens and needs attention and care, like you, like me and any other person.

An awaking history

This is a Queen who is a housewife, as all the queens, make dinner, put the washing machines; call by telephone takes care of the child, the cat and the parrot.

The husband arrives, and he says to him "how tired I am' ' goes very badly in the office". The queen answers, tired? If that so, we changed rolls tomorrow, and the contented husband says to her is fine.

The wife goes to the office, realizes the work of the husband and she concludes the day, when she returns to her house, hopes of course, that the 125.50 tasks are made in home will be finished.

When arriving she opens the door and she observes dirty clothes thrown in the floor, the boy eating land of the flowerpots, the cat is wet of which the boy put it in the toilet, and the cat eats the parrot.

Of course this is a disaster, and soon, observes the loved husband with a frying pan apparently cooking something-her question JUAN!! What is this?, and Juan answers:, Oh, do not interrupt me, don’t see I am concentrated, I am frying an egg.

It is not an invention, well some things are, but I am Juan and also this history gave me an existential shock when I verify this in my self.
