Browsing thru a bookstore led me to open one inspiring book on leadership (yet again!). The author goes on to define the basic tenets of 'improving one relational skills'. His objective is to survive in a higly hostile leadership environment.
Here are my realizations as I reflect on the topic on RELATIONSHIPS:
Relationships are:
1. Fragile - meaning we need to handle it with care.
2. Essential - you can't live without it.
3. Valuable - very precious and delicate as in a glass jar.
4. Requires Effort - it is no laggard and we need to work on it.
5. Diverse - varied and variety.
6. Changes you - very dynamic and never stagnant.
7. Risky - prone to problems, challenges.
8. Ends, not the means.
All are self explanatory. Except the last bullet which I find perplexing. Do you see relationships as ends of means?
