Aung Aye (Yangon University) - You can't send a duck to the school of the birds.

It's not hard to be a leader if you don't care about your own people.

Every employee and worker likes to be asked by their employer or leader, “What can I do to help?” Employers and leaders also enjoy being asked that way, assuming they can do everything themselves. In fact, the question “What can I do to help?” is completely wrong. Try asking this question in three areas:

1. What can we do to help you serve your customers better?

2. What can I do to help make the workplace more pleasant?

3. What can you do to help you balance your work and family life?

So the first thing you need to do is let your people know that you can't do everything, but you can do what you can. In other words, "What can I do to help?" is the kind of question you can't ask your driver.

When you ask your employees, “What can I do for them?” you often get some surprising answers. They say the chairs in the office are uncomfortable. They say they need a desk to put their files on. They say they need a day of stretching a week. They say they need a new headset for their phone. They say they need a small heater to use in the winter. In fact, it’s more important to take the time to listen to what they have to say and appreciate their qualities than to ask them what you can do for them. Ask the million or so workers or employees who say their boss is “good.” Why is that? The first reason is that the boss or leader listens to what they have to say. Never forget that this is a small thing, but it can make a big difference in the respect of your people.

Change is a good thing, so be the first to change.

" I remember what Tom Feltenstein said. "

"Mr.... Hey, let's write a book together. Changing the title is a good thing, so you change it first."

I immediately liked the title he gave. And they added a subheading: “21 Ways to Make a Difference.”

The key to unlocking the doors of growth and dynamism in any organization is change. The ability of leaders to inspire change habits determines their success or failure. Tomorrow is coming at us at lightning speed. There is a lot of competition facing us. That is why Bill Gates said this.

"After three years, every product our company makes is definitely outdated. The problem is, is it us or someone else who is making those products obsolete?"

Peter Drucker also added the same meaning as Bill Gates, as follows:

"Every three years, every product or process you produce must be brought to court and sentenced to death, otherwise your competitors will surpass you."

And Drucker continued: "Many companies take the easy way out: innovating with new ideas, rather than throwing away old products."

You may have seen a fly crawling on a closed window. Even though there is a large open door a short distance away, it does not go through the large door but crawls on the closed window. Even though it knocks many times, the window does not break, but the fly suffers injuries and dies. Many companies today are like that fly. They do not make the “change” that they could have done, and they continue on the same old path until they finally close and fail.

“It is not easy to make changes and to continuously develop. We must focus on the problems that exist in the present and constantly plan for the opportunities for tomorrow.

To “change” we start by innovating, taking risks, and creating. In practice, we often fall. The important thing is to get back up and get ahead of our competitors. TS Eliot said it best.

"Only those who risk going far can know how far a person can go."
