Pero may mga linya siyang tumatama nang mas malalim kaysa sa inaasahan ko. “Leadership,” paliwanag niya habang nakasandal sa mesa, “is not about control. It’s about presence. About choosing to stay even when it’s inconvenient.” My pen paused mid-note. Presence. Staying.

May ilang quotes mula kay Adrian tungkol sa responsibility at long-term growth. Hindi niya naintindihan ang kalahati. Ngunit isang linya ang tumigil sa kanya. "Leadership is not about owning power. It is about being accountable for what happens because of your decisions." Mara stared at the sentence. Hindi niya alam kung bakit parang pamilyar. Marahil dahil narinig na niya ang ganitong klaseng pananalita mula kay Adrian. Sa resort.

"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. Everyone is born great members, but sometimes, we unconsciously cut their wings to become one.”

"Not because she needed the salary..." "But because she wanted to understand people from the ground up." Marami ang humanga sa narinig. Tahimik lamang si Althea. Bahagya siyang yumuko bilang paggalang. Nagpatuloy ako. "Leadership is not measured by wealth..." "Nor by power." "It is measured by humility, integrity, and compassion." "And I believe..." "Ms. Althea Monteverde possesses all of those qualities." Muling umalingawngaw ang malakas na palakpakan.

Hindi 'yung magpapakasarap habang ang mga tauhan ay nauupos sa kakatrabaho.

‘Yung iba, nagkatinginan at parang na-inspire. “Ang galing niya,” bulong ng isa. “Nakaka-motivate.” Nakangiting tumango ang manager, proud. “You always knew how to lift people up, Montefalco.” “Because leadership isn’t just about taking charge,” sagot niya. “It’s about making people believe they can win, too.” Napanganga ang isang intern. “That sounded like a TED Talk.” Natawa ang manager. “Sige na, Clarissa. I trust you with this. I know you’ll represent us well.”

As you navigate this journey, remember that leadership is not just about making decisions; it's about making a positive impact. There will be days of doubt, moments of uncertainty. But know that the path you're walking has been trodden by many before you – each with their own dreams, their own struggles, and their own victories. Embrace both the lessons and the leaps of faith. Every decision you make is a brushstroke on the canvas of the company's future. Believe in the power of collaboration. Listen to the voices around you, for they hold insights you may not have considered. And when the winds of change blow, adapt and innovate – for it is in those moments that true growth occurs.

Naniniwala akong kapag busog sa pag-aalaga at pagmamahal ng isang kompanya ang isang empleyado ay gagawin ni

Ako, na dating allergic sa idea ng long-term, ngayon ay excited mamili ng crib. Si Atticus naman, maaga pa lang ay umalis na. Pumasok siya sa trabaho niya kahit CEO na siya ng kumpanya, hindi niya tinatanggal ang sarili niya sa proseso. He always says, "Leadership means presence, not just power." Kaya kahit may option siyang mag-work from home, mas pinipili pa rin niyang personal na dumalo sa mga meetings, makipag-usap sa mga tao, at tiyaking tumatakbo ang lahat ayon sa plano. And I admire him for that.

Napansin kong nakatingin ang ama ko sa akin mula sa kabilang dulo ng mesa. Parang hinahamon ako na magsalita. Pero hindi ko ginawa. Hindi pa. “Lance cannot carry this company alone forever,” dagdag niya. Doon na ako nagsalita. “I never said I would,” kalmado kong sagot. Napalingon sa akin ang buong mesa. “But if we’re talking about leadership,” dagdag ko, “we should be talking about capability, not bloodline.” Bahagyang nanikip ang mga mata ng ama ko.
