[Vnbiz] Staying to be a leader

Wed Mar 14 00:36:22 PDT 2007

Some mistake when typing, sorry CACC:
"The trap in our thinking, in our mind is not easy to realizes, especially
when we are an intelligent man. But as anh Hoanh saying: "Leadership is not
only about mind or brain, leadership is the work of hear" - I mean the work
of heart (not hear, hehe).
