Catalytic Leadership - Knowing
I have been writing code since the mid 1990s. I started out my professional career building applications and games for mobile phones (J2ME, Palm, Symbian, etc) then some Android, iOS and then moved to building server applications using Spring framework, and frontend using JQuery. Now working on Spring Boot, Docker, Flutter etc.
In this next article in the series of “Catalytic Leadership”, we will see about another important trait - “Knowing”.
As usual, a story!
A man was staying in the 10th floor in a hotel. He was just gazing outside from the balcony.
Suddenly he heard a voice shouting nearby the swimming pool
“Bob, your son has fallen into the pool”
Immediately, without hesitation, he jumped from the 10th floor into the swimming pool
Half way down, he thought, “I don’t have a son…”
Furthermore, it also occurred to him, “Forget about a son, I’m not even married”
Finally, he realized that “I’m not Bob, I am Will”
Catalytic leaders don’t act on impulse but they know clearly on what they have to do at that particular instance is.
They know who they are, who they work with and what their purpose and direction is.
