In the “Message to Garcia” article says “The ability to execute is more valuable than education or talent, because it is far rarer”.
The main message is the person who decides to accomplish an important task is dedicates himself fully. There are no questions or doubt.
If you are the main part of the business, you have started think about it, are you the right person to accomplish this task. It is impossible to delegate the important task to someone capable of doing it whatever the persons background education or knowledge.
Being entrepreneur takes courage and leadership character, which can be developed. Otherwise, he or she alone can’t accomplish much. Woody Allen said that 90% of life is “just showing up.” If so, the most important 10% of life is execution. Far too few people do either consistently. But if the ability to execute is so valuable, why is it so rare? Why aren’t more people self-starters who can stay on task until the job is finished?
Some always blame the younger generation. But it turned out it is nature of human. The most people react rather proact.
Trust others is the fundamental of gaining a trust from others. Zappos introduced online store of shoes. The doubt was how ladies will buy shoes without trying it on? But Zappos shipped the shoes for free and said will pay for return shipping if they did not like the shoes. They built trust.
Entrepreneurs must think the way that to solve the problem in the world not to make the money. Also, thinking how to help the other person rather how to get a help from him.
Entrepreneurs can be nicest person and gather the nice people around would build a great team or company. The goal is to have an excellent team that stays together stands for each other and create something great for society.
Carly Fiorina said “I think leadership is about three things: capability, collaboration, and character.” She described capability is for example being able to ask and listen carefully. Capability: you have to celebrate new ideas, take risks all the time, try new things. Because however good the answers you have had are, every person, every organization, eventually reaches a time when the old answers aren’t good enough anymore. And then the only thing that works is creativity, and new ideas, and risk taking, and innovation. The other important part about capability I think, is to keep learning; to learn something every day. If you - I’m older than most of you, so I can say this with some certainty.
Entrepreneurs are leaders and they have to have a strong determination to follow his passion and able to lead people with kindness, and capability to ever learning state.
