Today while I was reading the “Self-Leadership and the One Minute Manager” book for Ken Blanchard , I realized that everybody owns infinity stones that born with him/her .And , You need to take a fight against yourself and environment around you to collect these stones.
The book starts
with a story of campaign manager called “Steff” , that he failed to win
an advertising campaign for an important customer. Steff went to to a
small coffee and start writing his resignation, and his mind was full of
complaining from his poor team and useless manager. When, his eyes
fallen on a “Kyla”, that she was doing a magical tricks for a set of
children. Afte that , Kyla and Steff became fiends , and Kyla starts her
Journey in coaching Steff toward owning the tricks of self leadership .
At the second
chapter of this book I noticed a diagram that summarizes the power
points for the self-leadership. The diagram represents a star , each
edge represents certain type. This diagram reminded me with the Thanos
gauntlet that holds six infinity stones , each stone has a special power
.And , the stones together make you the strongest in your place . At
the following I will describe how I can relate the powers of the
infinity stones with the powers of self development.
2 – Power of Job
The power of
job comes from the understanding of the job description , that will
improve your understanding of the importance of your job . For example,
if you think you are a simple programmer that can be replaced any time, I
am happy to tell you that your job description is building high quality
software and cooperating with other teams like QA and business
analysts.
This power is
just like the reality stone, some people underestimate their values
.Because, they cannot understand their roles and the value of their
work.When you become the word class in your class and start taking
leadership roles , you can understand the value of your small job on the
entire organization.
3 – Power of Relatives
Your ability to
build relatives to gain their confidence , make you available
everywhere people will appreciate your work and will not hesitate to
work with you . Just like the space stone that enabled Thanos to move
for one place at the universe to another , the relatives enable you to
see new visions and move to new and better positions and places.
4 – Power of Knowledge
Profound
understanding of your work, will help the understand the problems that
are facing and taking the most appropriate decision at the critical time
. This would help you to understand the future possibilities, and take
care of the unexpected risks.
The Power of
knowledge is just like having the powers of vision and mind stones ,
you can interfere inside others and expect what they think about and
their future actions , and expect what the future will have for you .
5 – Personality Power
The personality
power enables you arrest the respect of others , and make them
following you and interested to meet you as long as possible. The
personality depends depends on your self confidence and influencing
others around you . Just like the soul stone you can own the soul of
others but you need to sacrifice for understanding and leading them.
1 – Position Power
The smashing
power is the last power you want to use, just like you are using a
hummer to kill butterfly. This power can destroy and everybody around
you. Thanos was confident enough to have the power stone and he could
control a huge number of army. But, most of his goals are reached
without using the power stone. Actually , if you want to destroy
yourself and the people around you can use such stone.
Finally
You need to
explore your talents that God gave it to you with your born , and
sharpening these talents . And , keep learning and improving your skills
and knowledge .Indeed , the most important knowledge that you did not
learn at the schools and educational journey.
The time stone
is the first available stone , listen actively to experienced people and
read more and more to solve your problems . The experiences of other
people and the stories of their failure and success is the time stone
that allowing the moving backward in the time axis and to live more than
once
