[Vnbiz] Staying to be a leader - The leader in a changing environment

[Tran Dinh Hoanh]

Dear CACC,

Several days ago, sis. Thuy Lien posted a gereeting message and in it she
posed some very profound questions that I think we need to thining about
them very sisrously.

I would like to post some parts of her message here and highlight and number
her questions to give them proper emphasis.  These are extremely challenging
qeustions.  Thank you, sister.  (My God, I am so amazed at the quality of
the college generation of our forum).  Here is the excerpt of Thuy Lien's
message:

"In the recent day,I've read a book whose tittle is "rethinking the
future".I'm impressed in the conception that everything's changing fast and
faster.And so,every type of the traditional thinking that we're familiar
with in 20th century isn't right anymore.I feel a real uncertain in my life
which is very different from the past which is just 5 years ago.That's a
world we're living.The more changes there are,the more flexible we are.That's
the truth we all know.But,

*1.   How can we adapt with situation if  even our thinking haven't innovate
yet?*

*2.   And, how can we know whether the innovation happened in my mind or
not?*

   I'm interested in the leadership.Maybe,never before the word "leadership"
has been discussed so many times like today.I find a good alert that the
Vietnamese traditional thinking  has been changed.Go back the past, for
example 5 years ago,we were embrassed when standing up to present ourselves
for the monitor of our class.Frankly,that's happening in my
university.WhatI want to mention is

*3.  I wonder if the role of the leader in any orgazination in
change-environtment has any difference from one of the past. *

We mentioned a lot about changes which's happening surely and even happening
so fast.

*4.  The book that I mentioned discussed an idea that the role of a modern
leader is to make a change-waiting environment(I'm not sure about my use of
word). But, how to build up it?*

*5  Besides, how can we predict when the change is needed? *Changes are
usually difficult with any one because it means many visible uncertain
despite of many invisible advantages which a few people can realize. "

Those are very deep deep deep questions.  Let us chip in to answer them.

Have a great day1

Hoanh
