What I learned from Mr. Hill's presentation


First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Hill personally and to extend my appreciation to Ken for providing such an outstanding presentation which I will miss greatly.
I learned from Mr. Hill lots of things particularly strategies for Dynamic. All what he said were interesting, but some of them particularly caught my heart. Let me tell you those.
"You have to have VICES to be a good leader"
VICES are...
Vision
We must have real vision for a prosperous future. This is Shackleton's Strategy 1. Set a ultimate goal and never lose sight of it, and focus energy on short-term objectives in order to achieve it.
Integrity
Integrity means wholeness. In morality/ethics, it means having a point of view about what is right, doing what is right, and — at the highest level — taking a stand to correct what is not right. This is Shackleton's Strategy 6. Minimize status differences and insist on courtesy and mutual respect.
Competency
Leaders have some competencies for leadership. It is not so special because without such competencies, they cannot be leaders. Some people have potential as leaders and others don't. It is because whether they have leadership competency or not. "This is just the real world". Mr, Hill told us. If you find you don't have potential as a leader, you should change your way. You may be suited to support leader. This is Shackleton's Strategy 3. Instill optimism and self-confidence, but stay grounded in reality. There is always another new goal.
Efficiency
He said "Quantity is nothing to get upset about. Rather, make quality the first priority". Working too hard is not efficient. Take measurable rest. This is Shackleton's Strategy 4. Take care of your self: Maintain your stamina and let fo of guilt.
Sustained Success
Every leaders must have sustained success. The real test of leadership is not in the moment, but in the long term. Of course, our decisions at any moment can positively or negatively affect the long-term health of the business.
As the worldwide economy continues to improve, there will be a host of leaders who will be determined to show that they are getting great results right now. We might even be one of them. It is important for us to do our best to focus on long-term success as well as the next quarterly report. I think this is what Mr, Hill wanted to tell us. This is Shackleton's Strategy 2. Set a personal example with visible, memorable symbols and behaviors.
