RE: How Steve Jobs Created a Forward-Thinking Culture at Apple - Book Club #18: "Steve Jobs"

in #reading6 years ago

Well, Steve might have taken it to the extreme but personally I don't like people who are extremely nice and at the end of the day nothing is achieved. My friends knows am blunt when I have to be. I remember a case last month when a guy messaged me on Whatsapp complaining how he's not doing well on Steemit and that he's tired of the whole stress. After going through his blog, I told him to sell all his stakes and walk out of Steemit because he doesn't have what it takes to be successful on Steemit.

The guy got angry and said I was impolite. A month later he's doing much better than me. Why? Because he works extremely hard just to prove me wrong. But what he doesn't know is that, that's actually what I aimed to achieve from the beginning.

Sort:  

I definitely see where you're coming from @lordjames, if a leader is not willing to be blunt when necessary in order to get his/her point across, then it can definitely be problematic for everyone involved. You did a great thing with this friend on Whatsapp, I'm sure he credits a great deal of his success to you (whether he openly admits it or not).

You are a magnanimous friend.

An enlightened despot is a non-democratic or authoritarian leader who exercises their political power for the benefit of the people, rather than exclusively for themselves or elites.
