Effective leadership doesn't just happen. You have to happen into it!

Inspired by Coffee

Every manager, at least once every quarter would have had this thought in his/her mind : "Damn, why is it so hard....its so simple...why can't they see it?....why can't I do it?" The operative words here being 'its so simple'.

Every morning, the instant my 1st cofee of the day takes its effect...the instant my warm roti-canai soothes my morning hunger, I often look away to the streets ahead of me or the people around me and think : "Its going to be a great day"! Somewhere way...way back in my mind I can feel a sense of clarity in what needs to be done for the day as a manager/leader. Everything is perfect. Ideas are there, the reasons are rock-solid and the implementation is waiting for the word go.

Then, two hours into the day, one by one, my ideas for the day crumbles! My clarity vanishes. Problems take over. I long for my 1st coffee. Not the coffee it self but the clarity that it provided.

So, firstcofee.blogspot.com is a place that I have created for my kindred souls who are also longing for that 1st coffee feeling...throught-out the day. I hope this will become a place for managers, leaders and change-makers find clarity and solutions for their challenges through vibrant networking between and among us.

May the 1st coffee be with you.
