10 Things I will remember from RealAcad Singapore Dec’09..

1) Important to trust and let go when leading a team. Can’t be controlling everything..

2) Delegation is KEY if you ever aim to grow..

3) Solve problems with systems rather than by talking. Let a system be hard on a person rather than wasting energy and emotion shouting at someone..

4) I am not a 100% secure person. I’m still taking time to find myself. I learnt that it is ok to be insecure.. as long you are aware of it and use it positively to drive you to do better. This is true with any problem.. it is ok as long as we accept it and then act..

5) A smile can brighten a day!

6) I’d rather be a person of value than a person of success.. Doesn’t mean I hope to be any less successful, but means i hope to be a person of value a lot more.. ha ha..

7) My biggest dream is to be a coach, be it of a football team like Man Utd or my own life academy. I must take time every week to coach somebody and get better myself..

8) My greatest strength is to react quickly to feedback. I may not be the smartest person on the block but if I can remember to learn quickly and persist, I can give the smartest a run for it.. ha ha :D

9) Little things define great people. Anybody can clear out the trash. The best make sure that the room has NO trash left while the not-so-great ones will leave a trail behind which the others clean up. And we always ask little things of the people we love – little things which seem so insignificant, yet big..

10) Anything is possible if we make a shift in our thinking. It doesn’t mean we can walk into Manchester United tomorrow and play a great game if we can’t play football for nuts but if we are indeed an average football player, if we can keep cool, not panic, just play our role, work hard and make people like Rooney and Giggs look good.. atleast we will survive..
And often, survival is a fantastic result! :D

I survived RealAcad.. there you go.. :D
