Thanks Mr. John.

I support the phrase written by Mrs. Ghada " i think that you must believe in yourself first place and take the challenge you struggle for".

“”The greatest barrier to SUCCESS is the fear of FAILURE whereas FAILURE is first step towards SUCCESS, just get it up and keep trying until you make it happened””  It is my quote and not borrowed from anywhere else.

No real leader in this world without knowing the real bitterness of failure, it happened most of the leaders life or business many times. In simple sense, take every failure as a positive energy in your challenging deals and strictly examine the root cause for failure, review it many times, find out real solutions and work on it hardly without rest until you gained in your hands – strictly even challenging and can do philosophy should be implemented . No wonder, you would succeed soon.  Don’t upset once or many times if you failed but feel in mind every failure is a real reason to success IF we think very carefully.

Finally, don’t be lazy or remiss but be beware of things ahead as always.

I am very interested to write on this subject but due to lack time as I am out of the Country now on business trip otherwise I want to write another two pages, may be in future and

Many thanks to Mr. Heavenly John for your thought  provoking question.

No great worries of failure , I think that if you are capable you wil surely suceed. On my personal level I wish to have a good fortune in my MBA admission, three months ago I am busy preparing myself for by reading bussiness articles, develop my interpersonal and leadership skills on many level such as discussion forum on networks and internet conferences.i think that you must believe in yourself first place and take the challenge you struggle for.

For me being an MBA - This my dreamer even I am wealthy and had academic degree in bussiness even so i am eager to start my MBA that would allow me for high-personal-achievement in all corporate-types either engineering or pharma, I would like to be a good leader and communicator so after 6 years of graduation from bussiness school  I choose to do my MBA now as I have a dream of either working for a large brand globally, or wish to start an enterprise of my own or even operate my dad's bussiness later on . So that my willing to start MBA at this time even belong to my family that's running a large business in Kuwait and Alex. My dad then who may wish me to work across disciplines (HR / Finance / Marketing / Product design / IT) to be financially very very successful, even so i already live in wealthy live, own big fancy apartments, drive cool car! Thanks for a good question.

Since I am in a multi-national and multi-reconstruction team should you have to understand the working conditions the first place and then to show to understand the circumstances around me from the team members then be mm any circumstances around me and I can build a base to work that satisfies everyone I do not mind taking Valaattabar everyone's opinions and accept criticism an open mind and must be ground myself first group whatever deported and conditions of the scientific and intellectual levels, cultures and different must caution all caution to criticize anyone in front of his colleagues and should only be in particular dialogue between us either in the case of praise must be in front of everyone to a spirit of love and understanding between us Personal touch the people and try to solve the problems of the most important reasons for the success of his team leader and I hope that I have succeeded in answering and greetings to all

Gather myself, re evaluate my work environment, my teams, my approach to leadership, find out where I took an inappropriate approach n start all over again. I will try to see what triggers motivation in each of my team members. Find out how i can activate the trigger. I sill also start by setting an example myself, give some space n freedomgo my teams to complete theur tasks. I would not mind asking my teams as to what they think of me. Sort of a 360 Deg. Learn from what I cud not achieve satisfactorily. I cannot acheive my targets without my teams support n their contribution to the business. So i guess failures need to be looked at starting from the teams upwards. My failure is not my teams' failure. Its just that I cud not get 100% from my teams. I will not penalise my staff but yes I wud let them know thst I wud be changing a few things around. Teams need to be clear on the Vision n Objectives.

As a new manager in a multinational corporation, Donna Peterson’s main focus in life was to prove that she had the skills and talent necessary to succeed in a male dominated industry.

After graduating from Harvard, summa cum laude, and completing her MBA at the Stanford school of business, Donna was confident in her knowledge and ability.

However, even with a strong academic background, Donna’s first year as a manager was tough.

While she tried to apply the principles she’d learnt at college, the members of her team were extremely resistant to change. Also, a number of the older team members continually questioned Donna’s authority and actively tried to undermine her.

By the time of her annual performance review, Donna was stressed, unhappy and was starting to question whether she really did have the street smarts necessary to succeed in the business world.

As she sat nervously in the waiting room at head office, Donna prepared to defend herself against the criticisms that she knew were in store.

At exactly 9am, the board room doors opened and an immaculately dressed woman in her mid fifties emerged. Her name was Karen Whitaker and within the company she was something of a living legend.

Karen greeted Donna warmly, and with an air of smooth authority, led her to a corner office that overlooked the bay. After the preliminaries of the annual review were out of the way, Karen quickly got down to business.

“Donna, I know that you’re doing your best and that you’re trying really hard. In fact, in a lot of ways, you remind me of myself when I started out in this business.” This made Donna smile. It was nice to hear that someone knew how hard she was trying.

“I’m going to give you one piece of advice that I’d like you to follow for the next six months. WIll you do that for me?”

“Of course I will” replied Donna expectantly.

“I want you to stop focusing on PROVING yourself, and start focusing on IMPROVING yourself”

“Let me explain” continued Karen, “When you focus on proving yourself, you always try and defend your position and demonstrate that you already have all the answers. However, when you focus on improving yourself, you begin to open yourself up to new ideas and feedback.”

“I think I understand Karen, and I’ll do my best. Thank-you”

I absolutely agree. Believing in yourself will help make any project successful. I feel like a future entrepreneur in me, so I plan to go to the school of entrepreneurs after graduating from college. I really hope that this resource https://www.essaygeeks.co.uk/write-my-assignment/ will help me cope with my academic projects and successfully complete my diploma.‎
