What Leaders can learn from Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein left Germany and joined Princeton to continue with his research work.

There one of his care takers asked him, "We're happy to welcome you. Here, you'll have full access to world class library, well equipped laboratories, big lawn for your evening walks, quite rooms for study, expert research assistants who are ready to help you with your work. Is there any thing else you would need?"

To that Einstein calmly replied, "All I need is a table, a chair, few pencils, a notebook and big basked to hold my rough work!" Wow, that's what a genius needs.

In that one line Einstein taught us resourcefulness.?

As a leader of the organization you'll need to work with so many constraints and limitations of resources but still need to complete the task well within time.

Executive Coaching helps leaders to become resourceful by digging deep within themselves, probing and making you comfortable with those uncomfortable questions.

It demands you to become a patient problem solver - attempting to do best with what you have got - not by complain and nor by waiting for ever to get things in perfect shape.

In reality, there is no prefect time for anyone. It'll never be a perfect ten-on-ten for you too. And that is part of your role as a leader. All your decisions from "Take it Right" to "Make it Right" is your responsibility.

Becoming resourceful is your responsibility. Resourcefulness is reliance on inner self-beliefs and not on external gross objects.

What one step you'll take to make yourself resourceful?
