I happened to skim through the list of books under ‘summary.com’ that I’ve subscribed for some years now. This book, ‘Be the Unicorn --12 Data-Driven Habits that Separate the Best Leaders from the Rest’ by William Vanderbloemen, was voted best business book of 2024. So I think I should read it besides listening to it a while ago kaa!
Though it focuses on how to become a unicorn, I think there
are quite a few key takeaways for us here ka:
- Speed matters. Yet, barriers are access to
opportunity and fear (with overthinking behavior).
I think of risk taking loei ka…but sure needs experiences,
baseline info and stats, and guts na ka.
- Be authentic as this is the quality that
differentiates us from others to be hired and retained in our jobs. I tend to link
authenticity with vulnerability and we need to ensure our expressions
align and are acceptable within the contexts and timing.
- Stay agile
like most positive people who can problem-solve, without wasting time in
meetings while trying to simplify things.
These days, people mention a lot about productivity and so
the meeting issue is almost always raised. I can’t agree more loei ka….too much
time listening to some irrelevant comments or from seniors/chairs mai ka….I
mean in our rachakarn context in particular?
- Be successful solvers by collaboration.
I think we’re getting better on facing conflicts but again,
some senior leaders could be hesitant and hide them under the rugs. If
given the issue to the group, it could help ease the obstacles in some cases na
ka.
- Anticipate well. This could be hard for many but this summary
says we can learn to do it by knowing ourselves, our histry and our surrounding.
It could include being observant about what’s
happening around the corner….from home to workplace to region and the world na
ka. Reading could also be another great source .
- Be prepared like doing our homework before
interviews, meetings, etc.
I’d like to add about reskilling and upskilling as
part of today’s preparation ka.
- Be self-aware and curious
These are 2 important qualities we need for our lives into the
future and kids need to be guided to get more practices.
- Be purpose driven and likable to get connected
When we’re competent, productive, genuine and kind, people tend to like us with more willingness to link us up with others. For me, when we think and act beyond our own benefits, our purpose will shine for others to feel more confidence in making friends/business with us.
Which do you like best and why ka?
