Happy Thursday ka.....thinking of today's color which is orange and feeling amused how it could have been more fun to write yesterday to fit with my sharing on 'green world advocate from actions' ka.
Very me mai ka? Link ไปด้ายยย 5555!
As usual these few years, I listen to podcast shows quite a bit during the day. Today, the eight-half program hits me with its mentioning of 'leadership' ka.
In fact, Khun ต้อง กวีวุฒิ shares gists from the book he's read, 'Let My People Go Surfing: The Education of a Reluctant Businessman' back to 2006 which is still very true and progressive, considering how Yvon Chouinard, the author, has all along held to his heart the awareness and actions of being environmentally responsible.
As a climber and environmentalist, he wanted to get much fewer and lighter climbing clothing and gears that led him to become a businessman and founder of Patagonia, Inc.
Many may have heard about it but for me, listening to learn in further detail sure amazes me of how dedicated and committed one can be and it's quite inspiring too ka.
Now, back to what ignites my thinking ka:
1. Back to 2006 when the climate change wasn't as known nor this serious, Yvon Chouinard's green heart has been outstanding and become even more admirable and his actions have proven his deep passion for our world till today.
2. His sincere and serious intention to produce quality clothing is witnessed by having environmentally friendly approaches in all steps, not just empty catchwords to look good for ad and sales ka.
Buy clothes only as needed and send back for repairs. If there's any item that is beyond repair, they do offer recycling too.....so nice to know loei ka.
3. On leadership,
- the first trait of leaders is the ability to take risks (while managers will avoid risks for their responsibilities to go smoothly). Leaders are courageous, taking their teams to explore new/unknown platforms. and that "true leaders take risks, have long term vision, create the strategic plan, and initiate change."....think more of impacts!
- lead by example to think differently on management like the best parking slots aren't for senior leaders, but for those with the most envi-friendly cars.
The ways Yvon Chouinard has been doing fit well with the leaders' qualities of vision and risk taking all these decades ka.
How to become visionary with courage to take risks is still hard to nurture mai ka? why?
