Overcoming fear
Winner
War game, water confidence and white water rafting are physical activities that is fun and promote teamwork
Although this is my second war-game, after the first one in PD last year, I am still fear of terrorist.
Fear, that is probably one of the unspoken reason that I played on defensively.
Fear, is not just during the game, it is in the everyday life too.
I am intimidated/scared when I felt challenged by someone who is having higher status, physically stronger and have a louder voice.
The question about overcoming fear was finally raised.
Fear, not only grows in me, everyone has it, some choose to live under the fog of fear, some tried to escape,
Somehow similarly and coincidentally,
One of my friend, she stepped out and talked about her confidence level. From the day she joined, she was pumped with full confidence until now she is someone with the confidence shattered completely.
It can be tell from her eye contact, body language etc.
What happened?
She lost the confidence people around her are more competitive, have more confident and stronger than her.
She had always been winning, she is almost leading the race until the confident opponent appears...
Did she lose the race to the confident opponent or she lose it to herself?
Fear does not exist in us, it has to be programmed.
Who programmed it? Its us!
We, the owner programmed it into our mind, which can save us from danger,
However, there are times we over-programmed it.
So we un-programmed it by breaking the unnecessary fear,
We break the fear just like breaking a solid pencil with ONE finger!
Sounds disbelievingly? If you believe you can, you can!
To my dear friend who had lost her confidence,
You are now into another stage of growth, with stronger competitor to push you over your current limit
Stronger opponent either crush you or makes you stronger!
Is your choice,
If the situation control your confidence,
you will only lead people weaker than you forever, and you can hardly improve.
However if your confidence control the situation;
stronger opponent will unleash your desire to grow,
it will makes you grow rapidly to be at par with your opponents.
Everyone is actually unique,
Different management styles will have different impact in each scenario.
There is no one for all solution.
For example, you may sounds cocky and determined,
people may think you are over-confident,
That's all their perception,
to evaluate your management effectiveness, here is the 4-4-2 rules
If in any case you have 40% loyal supporter under your style,
you are then on the
right track to refine it, perfect and strengthen this style.
The next 40% will joins you gradually when you are confidence to stick to your style and refine it.
The final 20% will never join you, they will try to oppose whatever thing you say,
so why care for that 20%?
The great President Obama was reported to win the US 2008 election with deep and broad victory, however it is just merely 52% support !
So, if you are thinking of getting more than 52% of the support in your organization, you can actually set your goal to become the next president of US, because so far only the great Obama achieves that!
Look around you, you actually have so many supporters, there just want to see you are confident, and they will follow you.
Great leader makes right decision, nobody cares whether it is right or wrong, they follow!
My dear friend,
you are the great leader of tomorrow,
the competitors around you are meant to improve and upgrade your skill sets.
Climb up from where you fell,
And you will strive confidently than ever.
