I always get bored when I had to read the book of leadership in college. All the literatures, theories, definitions and other things make me sleepy before I could finish read the book. But for me, three key points of being a good leader are self improvement, responsibility, and communication. These three key points construct these seven principles of a leader to gain respect from his/her followers. These seven principles are:
- Servant. A good leader is a servant. A good leader serves his/her team members to help them achieving their tasks with professional responsibilities.
- Self improvement. A good leader must well know every single of your job and your member’s tasks. Self improvement is unavoidable. A good leader maintains his/her learning process through self study, reflection or other people experiences, and attending classes.
- Responsibility. Accept the failure. If anything’s go wrong, sooner or later, do not blame others. A good leader had never blamed his/her team members, except him/her self. Analyze the situation; find the right answer for this particular situation. A good leader responsible for the accomplishment of his/her team task, he/she also develops the professional responsibilities of his/her team members.
- Problem solver. A good leader is a problem solver. A good leader accepts his/her member’s opinions and suggestions, but he/she is the one who responsible to make a decision.
- Role model. All members are watching you. A good leader is a model for the team. Everything you say is everything you do.
- Communication. Keep all team members understand every single detail of how the task shall be accomplished. A good leader knows how to communicate with various characters of his/her team members. Since he/she’s a good listener, a good leader knows his/her team members personally.
- Understand the advantages. A good leader does understand the capabilities of his/her team members, advantage and disadvantage of his/her team members. A good leader able to use all the advantages of every team member to accomplish all tasks.
We were born to serve others, nothing more nothing less…(Me)

It all started 16 years ago..When I went to college, I’d could ever dreamed of. At that time, my parents said I had to work instead of continue my education. Yet, I said no..and just like a miracle…scholarship was offered to me. That was my first scholarship.
Today, I have finished my third scholarship.. postgraduate program. Smart? Nope..I am definitely not that smart..
All steps in my life are miracles.
In 2006, my graduation day was held on march..Finally, I have the right to use Master of Science behind my name… On July, I took my vow..I marriage my lovely gal. On August, I took my lovely lady to Europe. On Oktober, I bought my first house..a small house, yet it’s mine. On November, my doctor said that my lovely wife is pregnant.
Can you imagine? Of course, I did beg Him for education or money or…anything. But, five in a row…God must be love us so much.
Now, I realize that He shall give what you really need..not you really want.

Monday is the first day of the week. The day I execute my plan for 5 days work. The day I feel so strong to discuss topics at meetings, finish my assignment, set up my report..everything.
Most of my friends at the office hate this day. I think it’s because they said 2 days weekend is not enough, I do agree about this. Let’s think about this..For everything, there’s always a point where or when you make a start. You have to make a good coffee before you could fresh your day up after 5 hours work…for an example. Or you have to make a single call before you know the beautiful creature who lives next to your house.
The point is..when or where you decide to make a starting point. You may hate Monday, because you like Wednesday. You may say Sunday or even Thurday is the first day of the week, since nobody knows what day comes first.
From seven thirty to five at the office. Monday, or the day when we start to execute our plan, is definitely not a good day to give up problems. Don’t you agree?
