Last week, I was a little confused by what I was reading. I felt some advice was contradictory of what I knew and what I have read in the past. This week, I experienced clarity and how taking control, leading, and getting things done works. "The Heart of Business" discussed the role Managers and Entrepreneurs play. I found it interesting that Managers and Entrepreneurs may clash often and Entrepreneurs are considered egotistical etc. I learned that Entrepreneurs need to be quick on their feet, make fast decisions constantly and hate bureaucracy. Stevenson and Gumpert indicated that Administrators may find Entrepreneurs hasty and don't adhere to structure, but what they don't realize is that entrepreneurs get things done, just in a different way. Of course, it's important to have structure and to understand the risks of doing things, but this article drove the point home about finding ways to get things done, and I appreciated that.
I look forward to completing my entrepreneur interview. My sisters are eager to share their wisdom. I have asked some questions already, but I look forward to finishing interviewing them in person. One thing that I learned from my older sisters is that they understand people and know how to work with them. I have often turned to their examples of sociability when I needed it.
I read the talk by Elder Oaks for Pathway last year. It was a good reminder to me about being truly converted.
