That was the time he met Divina Montes and Samantha was born. He looked at Samantha and contemplate whether it is her time to inherit the organization. He sensed that she had the quality of a good leader. In her few months as Chief Executive Officer of the company, Samantha showed prowess in decision making. Decision making makes or breaks a leader. Poor decision went astray while good decision made it through. Samantha was the girl’s version of him. Decisive, tough but stubborn. Qualities that was absent with her other daughter, Beverly. She was soft and unreasonable sometimes. Being unreasonable is not a good quality of a leader.

"Pero ang laban na pinipili ko ay hindi para sa sarili. Ang tunay na pamumuno ay hindi tungkol sa kung sino ang pinakamalakas, kundi kung sino ang may kakayahang pangalagaan ang nakararami." "Puro idealismo!" singit ni Santos, mayabang at mataray. "Hindi ba't mas gusto natin ang lider na kaya tayong itaas kahit pa may masagasaan? Ang negosyo ay negosyo. Hindi ito bahay-ampunan."

"Are you?" "Well, if they can't pace up with the pressure they can always quit. We are in a corporate world, Dad. There is no room for personal emotions. Everything will always be in competition." "You see, that's the point Sushi. A leader is not only a goal digger and wise. A leader makes sure that everyone on his or her team is being heard and understood.

Mahabang salaysay ko pero parang naiinis pa itong sumagot. "Don't tell me on what to do Luciana! I know my job well." Puno ng kumpyansang wika nito pero hindi ako kumbinsido. "Sana nga po Señorito. Kasi ako naniniwala ako na Leadership is not about titles, positions and flowcharts coz it is about one life influencing another. And a good leader leads by example not by command. Ibig sabihin kapag good leader ka, for sure very good din ang mga empleyado mo. Dapat kasi hindi lang gwapo ang boss kundi mabait din."

Ayokong may kasamang daig pa ang mood ko kapag may dalaw, tukoy niya sa lalaking makakasama niya sa trabaho. *** “Good morning, children!” Agad na nagsitayuan ang mga bata at ang iba ay nagpalakpakan pa sabay sabing, “Nandito si Kapitan!” Iba talaga ang impluwensiya kapag ikaw ang leader. Daig pa ang isang artista kapag dumaan ang isang pinuno.

"We should wait for the chef to bring out a new batch. If you compromise the order of the line, everyone will have to wait longer. Follow the rules, and we will all get what we want." Ang mga matatandang bata ay natigilan at dahan-dahang umayos ng tayo, tila ba napasailalim sa tindi ng command ng maliit na batang babae na kaharap nila. Ang kaniyang bawat kilos, ang paraan ng kaniyang pagtaas ng kaniyang kilay, at ang kaniyang perpektong tindig ay nagpapakita ng isang natural na katangian bilang isang pinuno—isang lider na hindi gumagamit ng karahasan kundi ng tindi ng talas ng salita at lohika.

“Siraulo, wala akong sinasabi na negative. All I thought was as a pioneer of this campus we must do our thing in an inappropriate way. And also we can use our power to create respect instead of doing things that make us look like an unrespectable leader.” “Tado, O.A mo, it's my personality, Syl. Why not?
