Be Human
Henry Ford - The founder of Ford motor company once took 2 candidates for dinner.
They were both graduates of the same university, they had the same GPA ( Grade Point Average)
They both were geniuses.
They finished their dinner & they walked out of the restaurant and as soon as they walked out Ford said to the one you are hired and said to the other one we won’t be proceeding together. Thank you very much for a lovely dinner.
They young guy summoned the courage and said Mister Ford can I ask you something sir?
We never spoke about engineering, we never spoke about cars, we never spoke about university, we only spoke about general things.
Why are you hiring my friend and not myself?
And Mister Ford said for 2 reasons
First reason is that your friend tried his steak and then he put salt and you put salt & then you tried your steak - I like people who try things before they make changes.
Second & most important reason of them all your friend was polite with all the waiters saying Thank You and please but they were invisible for you all the waiters.
You only were polite when you were addressing me.
So great leader somebody you want to impact your organization doesn’t have to see hierarchy he has to see human beings!
