Leadership and Integrity

LEADERSHIP AND INTEGRITY

Received a few smses from a leader in Jakarta early this morning. To sum it all, he is still looking around. Boiling down to his frustrations of dealing with the company he is representing in Indonesia today. Sadly, it is a Malaysian company. Real shame on us. Again, it is all about leadership and integrity.

Just how important is Leadership in business? Absolutely EVERYTHING. Minus leadership, there is no vision and battle plans for a Company's direction and execution.

World War 2 Hero

As once said by General Douglas MacArthur a second World War hero, "The bottom line of achieving victory in any battle, is actual execution of battle plans in battle fields."

That sums everything about leadership and business.

But, still over riding all, is one factor: INTEGRITY of the leader especially in business. Integrity makes all the difference. From Warren Buffet to G.E's Jack Welch. And for the MLM industry, IT IS EVERYTHING. It holds or loses people within any organisation.

LOOKING BACK.
We started our journey with one Aussie company way back in 1998.

Built the business from scratch way up to the pinnacle. We helped built function attendance from 30 people to a crowd in excess of 2,000 within 3-4 years.

We enjoyed the journey and so were many people who were never in MLM before, building the business, a bit of income and significance.

But as business grew, so were egos and greed.In May 2004, I left the Company. To keep it short, the company is no longer around in Malaysia and also in Australia today.

BACK TO THE FUTURE
Today, as my path crossed with so many people, field leaders and companies alike, it is just not difficult at all to see whether a company is going places or not.

Just listen to what they got to say, then give some time to see what they do. PERIOD.

To some of you guys out there, you may have the money, the best marketing plans and products BUT minus INTEGRITY, you are not going to have a really big busines for long.

Yes, I know it too, some of you purposely designed your Company that way. Collect as much money from the poor networkers, then close your Company.

Of coz u have collected your millions. But not USD 800 to 900 millions. Perhaps a couple of millions. Simply beause you guys have no vision further then that of an ostrich.

TOWKAY, CAKAP SAMA BIKIN MAU SAMA WO....

FRIENDLY REMINDER
To all my fellow leaders and networkers, in choosing a company, look for one more thing BEYOND the company's grandiose plans and dreams; INTEGRITY.

SEE WHAT THEY DO.
From Company management to simple things as how they treat their friends, fellow workers and keeping time for appoinments. All tells tales. Just look out.

DON'T JUST LISTEN. WATCH. BE CAREFUL.

It still hurts me to know fellow friends get hurt.

I may not be filthy rich yet, but somethings are not for sale. INTEGRITY is one.
