KUDOS TO THE MAIN MAN!
Every company begins with the vision of its founder and his desire for that vision to become reality. The vision is almost always groundbreaking, with the intent of changing the prevailing status quo in society or addressing a long-deprived need.
For it to achieve fruition, that vision will be executed by ingenious and hardworking men and women under the founder’s employ. With his guidance, these individuals will work together amid grueling challenges and unthinkable odds to bring the vision from the drawing table to the outside world.
In the face of delay or failure, the founder is there to inspire the workforce to pick itself up, dust off their shirts and continue through the path. Such individuals may come and go within the company, but the founder remains, steadfast in his aspirations. He is the only ones who has the courage to take risks to make a difference in their communities and in the lives of their fellow people by innovating the way we do things, introducing revolutionary products and services, or pioneering a business model.
