There exist two categories of leaders: those who prioritize individuals and those who prioritize circumstances. Which category do you fall into? Leaders who prioritize circumstances may easily overlook the needs of individuals, driven by an underlying fear of adverse outcomes impacting them. Ultimately, those who favor circumstances above individuals exhibit a tendency to prioritize self-protection over the welfare of those they lead. In contrast, leaders who prioritize individuals, even amidst challenging situations, demonstrate the qualities of exemplary leadership. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
In Japanese cuisine, sushi omakase is an approach where patrons rely on the chef’s curated menu and follow the sequence of courses without making personal selections. Since diners don’t choose their dishes, the chef must ensure that the flavors and quality of the ingredients are top-notch. A failure to meet diners’ expectations can spoil the experience of a wonderful meal. This process hinges on the chef’s confidence and the patrons’ trust. While the chef’s skills are crucial, they must also consider the diners’ eating habits, including their pace and frequency of intake, to create a pleasurable dining experience. Ultimately, successful commerce rests on mutual satisfaction, but it can only thrive if the recipients are truly content. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
