เอาล่ะ ผมเลิกกวนตีนและเขียนอะไรจริงจังสักครั้ง

หลังสงกรานต์ปี 59 หลังจากที่ผมโดนทหารถือ M16 มาหน้าบ้าน แล้วจับผมใส่รถ คลุมถุงดำเข้าค่ายทหาร

ผมโดนเอาไปนั่งอยู่บนโต๊ะตัวหนึ่ง มีเจ้าหน้าที่สามชุด เวียนกันสอบสวน

เอารูปคนนั้นคนนี้มาให้ดู ถามว่ารู้จักมั้ย แล้วก็ถามอะไรที่แบบ ผมไม่แน่ใจว่าเป็นเทคนิคถามแรงๆเยอะๆ ก่อนให้กลัวหรือเปล่า

แต่จริงๆ เนื้อหาการถามผมคือ "อาวุธสงครามอยู่ที่ไหน กองกำลังที่มึงฝึกอยู่ที่ลาวมีเท่าไหร่"

"มึงส่งเงินให้นักศึกษายังไง ใครเป็นคนสั่งการ"

เอาภาพเพื่อนที่หน้าโหดๆในเฟสมาถามว่า "คนนี้ใคร มือปืนมึงหรือเปล่า" เอาแชทที่พวกผมนัดกันย่างหมูกระทะที่บ้านมาเปิดถามว่าเตรียมของนี้หมายถึงอะไร

เอาเฟรนด์ในเฟส ซึ่งจริงๆมันเป็นเพื่อนมัธยมของผม ที่แม่งไม่ได้คุยกันมาหลายปี ตอนนี้ไปเป็นโปรแกรมเมอร์ มาถามว่า "นี่แฮ็คเกอร์สังกัดพวกมึงใช่มั้ย"

แล้วก็มีรูปคนนู้นคนนี้เต็มไปหมด จากเฟรนด์ลิสม์ผม ภาพทหาร ตำรวจ ข้าราชการ ที่เป็นเพื่อนในเฟรนด์ลิสม์ผม มาหมดทุกคน

บางคนผมพึ่งรู้ด้วยซ้ำว่ามันทำมาหากินอะไร เกี่ยวกับหน่วยราชการยังไง

แล้วแบบ ผมจบรัฐศาสตร์ ธรรมศาสตร์ เพื่อนของเพื่อนผมในเฟรนด์ มันก็ต้องโยงไปถึงโรม จ่านิว พวกดาวดิน มีหน้าห้องกระทรวงนั้นนี้ จนถึงพวกลูกหลานนักการเมืองได้ปะวะ

ผมโมโหชิบหาย คือแต่ละคนเนี่ย เข้าใจมั้ยว่าแชทคืออะไร เฟรนด์ลิสต์คืออะไร ผมมีเฟรนด์ในเฟสนี้ ผมอาจจะไม่รู้จักมันก็ได้เว้ย แค่มันแอดมาผมกดรับ

แล้วที่ผมโกรธอีกอย่างคือแกหาว่าผมเป็นคอมมิวนิสต์ คือผมนี่โคตรจะทุนนิยม การหาว่าผมเป็นคอมมิวนิสต์นี่คือไม่เข้าใจอะไรเลย

บอกตามตรงว่า วันนั้นพี่แกพูดอะไรมา ผมคิดว่าล้อเล่น นึกว่าด่าไปเรื่อยเปื่อย คือนึกว่าเป็นเทคนิคแบบเอาหนักๆ ขู่ๆ ไว้ก่อน เผื่อผมมีข้อมูลแล้วหลุดที่เบากว่า

แต่สัส แม่งเชื่อจริง ฟ้องจริง

สิ่งที่อยากจะเล่าคือ มีเจ้าหน้าทีแก่ๆคนหนึ่ง ที่น่าจะรับบทโหดมา แกไม่ยอมบอกว่าอยู่หน่วยไหน แต่แกด่าผมชิบหาย จนผมโมโห

มันมีประโยคหนึ่งที่ผมจำได้ดีคือ "มึงคิดว่ากูโง่เหรอ คิดว่ากูเนี่ยแก่จะลงโลงแล้วใช่มั้ยล่ะ? อีกไม่นานกูก็จะตายแล้ว?"

ผมได้ยินแล้วหายโกรธเลย

เพราะตอนนั้นผมเข้าใจแล้วว่าทำไมพวกเขาถึงทำแบบนั้น

เพราะพวกเขากลัว

ย้ำอีกทีว่า เพราะพวกเขากลัว

เพราะพวกเขามีชุดความดีแบบหนึ่ง ซึ่งพวกเขาใช้เวลาทั้งชีวิต 40-50 ปี ต่อสู้เพื่อสร้างมัน ต่อสู้เพื่อปกป้องมันมาตลอด

ผมนึกได้ว่า เออ คนที่นั่งอยู่ตรงหน้านี่ เพื่อนเขาคงเคยไปแฝงตัวในหมู่คอมมิวนิสต์ แล้วโดนจับไปฆ่าจริงๆ

เคยเจอพวกคอมมิวนิสต์ขนอาวุธจากโซเวียต ส่งผ่านลาว มาแถวๆ ขอนแก่น กาฬสินธ์จริงๆ แล้วเขายังใช้ชีวิตอยู่ในชุดความคิดนั้น

แล้วจู่ๆโลกมันก็เปลี่ยนแบบกลับหัวกลับหาง

ชุดความดีทั้งหมดที่เขามีถูกบอกว่ามันผิด

เขาไม่มีทางออก ไม่รู้จะไปไหน

วิธีแก้ปัญหาของเขาคือ การทำแบบเดิมที่มันเคยเวิร์ค คือไปหาคอมมิวนิสต์มาสอบสวน

เขาพยายามเค้นเอาให้ได้ว่า ผมเนี่ยสั่งทำภาพการ์ตูนล้อรัฐบาล ผมเนี่ยมีเครือข่ายมากมาย "ถ้ามึงไม่สั่ง ถ้าไม่มีคนจ่ายเงิน แล้วภาพด่ารัฐบาลมันมาจากไหน"

คือแบบ... ผมอยากรู้มากว่า รัฐบาลทหารเนี่ย มันโดนเอเจนซี่หลอกเอาค่าทำภาพเชียร์รัฐบาลไปภาพละเท่าไหร่ งบเพจละล้านหรือเปล่า

จากนั้นผมพยายามนะ พยายามอธิบายว่า เนี่ยนะ พวกการ์ตูนต่างๆนี่ ใครมันก็ทำได้ แค่เขามีความคิด มีไอเดีย เขาก็ทำออกมาตามความคิดเขา คนชอบมันก็แชร์ไปเอง

เจ้าหน้าที่ไม่เข้าใจจริงๆ คือไม่เข้าใจเลย

เขาเชื่อมากว่ามันต้องมีเสธสักคน ใครสอนมึง ทหารนอกราชการเหรอ หรือว่าพัลลพ หรือคนนั้น คนนี้ ซึ่งผมไม่รู้จักชื่อสักคน

เขาคิดว่ายังไงก็ต้องมีคนวางแผน มีคนเขียนบท มีคนวาด มีเครือข่ายกระจายคอนเทนท์ และทั้งหมดต้องใช้เงิน

การชุมนุมคัดค้านรัฐประหารหรือประชามติก็เช่นกัน เขาคิดว่าต้องมีโครงสร้างเช่นนั้น

ดังนั้นหน่วยความมั่นคงจึงเป็นเหมือนการมองหา ศูนย์กลางของมหาสมุทร ซึ่งมันไม่มีไง น้ำมันแค่ไหลมารวมกัน

แล้วแม่งพูดกันไม่รู้เรื่อง ผมพยายามอธิบายแบบนี้แหละ แม่งก็ตวาด บอกว่าผมพูดนอกเรื่อง มึงสารภาพมาว่ามึงจ่ายเงินยังไง

เอ้าสัส!

ผมสารภาพว่า หนึ่งวันในค่ายทหาร ผมเศร้ามากกว่ากลัว

คือเหมือนไปพยายามสอนคนแก่เล่นไอแพท

ทุกอย่างมันเกือบจะดี จนเจ้าหน้าที่บอกว่า "นี่ มึงสารภาพมาเถอะ นายกูโกรธแล้ว ถ้ามึงยังปากแข็งแบบนี้นะ นายกูบอกให้หาอะไรที่ยัดมึงได้ ให้ฟ้องเลย"

ผมนึกว่าขู่ไปงั้นล่ะ แม่งไม่มีหรอก

สรุป แม่งฟ้องจริงๆ

เรื่องแบบ ฟ้องๆไปงั้น ให้ไปปฏิเสธเอาในชั้นศาลก็ฟ้องมา

แล้วมันเหี้ย ไอ้คำว่า ฟ้องๆไปก่อน ค่อยไปปฏิเสธในศาลเอา คือการสูญเสียทุกสิ่งที่เคยมี

เงินประกัน 7 แสน ธุรกิจเจ๊ง ความสัมพันธ์เพื่อนทั้งหมดพังทลาย ญาติตัดขาด

.
.

รู้มั้ยผลเป็นยังไง

ผมโกรธ

ผมปฏิญาณกับตัวเองว่า "ได้ ลุงกลัวใช่มั้ย ผมจะทำให้มันเป็นจริง"

"จากนี้ผมจะมีชีวิตอยู่เพื่อให้ ลูกหลานของลุงมีชีวิตที่ดีกว่าสมัยของลุง แล้วต่อว่าบอกว่า แม่งเอ้ย ทำไมคนรุ่นพ่อ รุ่นตาของกู ถึงทำอะไรเหี้ยๆแบบนั้น ทิ้วไว้ให้กูต้องมาเช็ดล้าง แม่งห่วยชิบหาย"

"ลุงจะไม่ได้ถูกสรรเสริญในประวัติศาสตร์ แต่ถูกก่นด่า ลูกหลานของลุงจะต้องอับอายที่มีบรรพบุรุษเช่นนี้"

"ผมจะแสดงให้เห็นว่า แนวทางที่ไม่ใช่ของลุงมันดีกว่า มันสว่างไสวกว่า มันมีอนาคตกว่า"

มีคนถามผมตอนออกมาว่า "ทำไมมึงไม่ฟ้องมันกลับ มึงไม่โกรธมันเหรอ"

คำตอบของผมคือ "กูโกรธ แต่กูไม่ได้โกรธใครคนใดคนหนึ่ง กูไม่ได้คิดจะแก้แค้นใครคนใดคนหนึ่ง"

วิธีการแก้แค้นที่ต้องทำคือ "ทำลายโลกเก่าๆให้มันพินาจไป และสร้างโลกใหม่ที่ดีกว่าขึ้นมา"

ตอนปีแรกๆ แทบทุกคืนผมนอนไม่หลับ คือโกรธ ตอนกลางคืนมันจะโกรธขึ้นมา แม่งไม่ยุติธรรม ทำได้คือมานั่งอธิษฐาน

บางโมเมนท์มันแบบ สัส อยากได้ระเบิดสักลูก ไประเบิดตายๆไปกับแม่ง

มันเป็นโมเมนท์ที่ God only knows จริงๆ only God can save your soul จริงๆ

สิ่งที่เราทำได้คือ เอาความโกรธนี้เปลี่ยนให้ไปในทิศทางที่ดี และสร้างสิ่งดีๆขึ้นเพื่อทำลายสิ่งเก่า

แล้วผมรู้ว่าเวลาอยู่ข้างเรา

ไม่มีใครต้านทานเวลาได้

คนรุ่นใหม่ๆต่างเก่งกว่าคนรุ่นผมทั้งนั้น

โลกมันจะไปทางนั้น มันเป็นศึกที่ยังไงก็ชนะ อยู่แค่ว่าช้าหรือเร็ว

ถ้าพรุ่งนี้ไม่ชนะก็ยังมีต่อ มะรืน ปีหน้า 10 ปีข้างหน้า 20 ปีข้างหน้า เรายังสู้ได้อีกหลายสิบปี

เอาดิ ก็มาดิ

แต่ลุงอ่ะ จะเหลือเวลาเท่าไหร่?
.
.
.
เชื่อมั้ย ว่าทุกวันนี้ก็ยังคิดอยู่ว่า ด้อมฟ้า futurista หรือกระแสพื้นที่ของเพื่อไทย อะไรนี่ มีคนวางแผนอยู่ มีคนจัดตั้ง จ่ายเงิน

เออ ก็แพ้ไปพร้อมกับยังคิดแบบนั้นอยู่ละกัน
.
.
.
ท้ายสุดนี้ผมขอตอบคำถามว่า "มึงคิดว่ากูโง่เหรอ คิดว่ากูเนี่ยแก่จะลงโลงแล้วใช่มั้ยล่ะ? อีกไม่นานกูก็จะตายแล้ว?"

ในวันที่ 24 มีนาคม นี้ ในคูหาเลือกตั้ง

ผมทนมาตลอด ทนมาเพื่อรอวันเลือกตั้งนี้

ผมหวังว่าลุงจะยังไม่ตาย รอดูทุกสิ่งของลุงมันพังทลายลงมากับตาเสียก่อน
Well I quit bugging and write something serious for once

After Songkran 59, after I was held by a soldier in front of my house and put me in a car and covered a black bag to the barracks.

I was sitting on a table. Three officers were interrogated.

I showed this person's picture. Ask if I know or not. Then ask something like me. I'm not sure if it's a lot of technique. Ask me to ask me to

But in fact, the content of asking me is " where are the war weapons, how many forces you train in Laos

"how do you send money to students? Who orders"

I took a picture of my friend on Facebook to ask, " is this person who is your shooter let's chat that we made an appointment to grill pork at home to ask what I prepare this stuff means.

I took a friend on Facebook, who is my high school friend who hasn't talked to in years. Now I'm a programmer to ask, " is this hacker for you guys

And there are plenty of pictures of people from my friend list. Military, police, civil servants who are all my friends in my friends.

Some people I just know what they earn about government agencies.

And like I finished political science, thammasat. My friend's friend in friend has to connect to Rome. Sergeant New. the din has a front of this ministry room until the children of politicians.

I'm angry. Do you understand what a friend list is? I have friends on this facebook. I may not know it. Just add me.

And what I'm angry. Besides, you say that I'm a communist. I'm capitalism. Finding out that I'm a communist. I don't understand anything.

Honestly, what did your brother say that day? I thought I was kidding. I thought it was cursing. I thought it was a heavy technique. Threaten first. I had information and fell off lighter.

But the cuddle s. I really believe it. I really sue.

What I want to say is that there is an old officer who should have played a brutal role. She wouldn't tell me which unit he was in, but she scold me so bad that I was angry.

There is one sentence that I remember is, " do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I'm old. I'm going to get into the coffin? Soon I will die?"

I heard it. I'm angry.

Because then I understand why they did that

Because they are afraid.

Repeat because they are scared

Because they have a kind of good set that they spent 40-50 years fighting to build it fighting to protect it all along.

I realized, uh, the guy sitting in front of his friend must have been undercover among communists and actually killed.

I met a Soviet armed communist through laos around khon kaen kalasin. He actually lives in that mind set.

And suddenly the world turned upside down

All the good deeds he had was told it was wrong.

He has no way out. I don't know where to

His solution is to do the same way it used to work is to find communists to investigate.

He's trying to get that I ordered comics. I have a lot of networks. "if you don't order, if there is no one to pay, where did they scold the government"

It's like... I want to know how much the military government is being fooled by an agency. How much is the government support? Is the budget for a million baht per page?

Then I tried to explain that these comics can do it. Only they have ideas. They make it out according to his thoughts. People like it.

Officials really don't understand. I don't understand.

He believes that there must be a denial. Who taught you an outside government soldier or is this person who I don't know the name?

He thinks someone has to plan, someone wrote the script, someone draws, has a network, distribution of containers, and all takes money.

The Congregation opposed coup or referendum too. He thinks there must be structured.

So security is like looking for the center of the ocean, where there is no oil just flows together.

And you don't know how to talk. I tried to explain this. Fuck you said I said I was out of your story. Confess how you paid.

Oh my God. Cuddle S!

I confess one day in the barracks I'm more sad than scared

Well, it's like trying to teach old people to play ipat.

Everything is almost good that the officer says, " Hey, you confess. I'm angry. If you still have a hard mouth like this, I told you to find something that can put you, Sue me

I thought it was a threat. Damn no such thing.

In conclusion, it's really suing.

The story of suing. So let's say no. Take it in court and Sue me.

And it's fuckin '. The Word Sue first, then go to deny it in court is losing everything I ever had.

Insurance for 7 hundred thousand. Business is broken. All friends relationships fall apart. Relatives cut off.

.
.
.
Do you know what the result is?

I'm angry.

I swore to myself, " are you afraid? I will make it true

" from now on, I will live so that your children have a better life than uncle's days and say damn why would my generation do something like that. Leave me to wipe it. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Lost "

" Uncle will not be praised in history, but scolded. Uncle's children shall be ashamed to have such ancestors

"I will show that the way that is not uncle is better. It's brighter than it has a future"

Someone asked me when I came out, " why didn't you sue him back. Aren't you mad at him

My answer is " I'm angry but I'm not angry with someone. I don't want to take revenge on anyone

The way to revenge is to " destroy the old world, let it go and create a better world

In the first year, almost every night, I can't sleep. I'm angry at night. It will be angry. It's not fair. I can

Some moments are like cuddle s. I want to explode to explode and die with me.

It's really God only knows moment only God can save your soul

All we can do is take this anger in a good direction and build good things to destroy the old.

And I know when we are on our side.

No one can resist time

New Generation is better than my generation.

The world will go that way. It's a battle that I win. Just slow or fast.

If you don't win tomorrow, we still have the day after tomorrow. Next year, 10 years ahead, we can still fight for dozens of years.

Let's do it. Come on.

But how much time will uncle have left?
.
.
.
Can you believe that these days, I still think about dye fa futurista or the trend of Thai area. There are people planning. There are people who set up to pay.

Well I lost and still think so
.
.
.
Finally, I answer the question, " do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I'm old. I'm going to get into the coffin? Soon I will die?"

On March 24th in the polling place

I have endured this time. I have endured this election day.

I hope uncle is still alive. Waiting to see everything of uncle. It's falling apart. Cuddle baht.Translated

[10 Leadership traits that we could learned from the 7th Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad]

9th May 2018, the day Malaysians witnessed unbelievable radical change for the first time in the political history of this country.

And how did this all happen? It took one MAN with a VISION on a MISSION to help REFORM MALAYSIA and of course with the vote from the people.

Reflecting on the recent scenario that has impacted every individual in this thriving nation, both rivals and supporters are impressed by the leadership of one man to bring about change in the next 5 years.

Now what makes this man so remarkable and to be the talk of the town and the world is his compelling LEADERSHIP.

That’s one reason why I love observing leaders. I enjoy reading and following their journey. Being able to reflect on the reasons I admire countless leaders opens my eyes to the qualities of Great Leadership.

What makes a Great Leader?

As far as I can recall, my childhood years till I was a young adult were during the 22 years reign of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as the 4th Prime Minister back then.

In general, life for Malaysians were rather peaceful with a sense of growth and progress for the country though there may be differing opinions on this subject.

Since then, I have always admired Tun as a great leader to this country. I was so inspired by him so much so that I even adapted my signature similar to his.

Today, in my private circle business coaching and mentoring session, I laid down 10 things that Tun has done right in “leading” the changes in the government together with all the parties that were once his foe and opponents.

How could this be possible?

It wouldn’t have materialized unless it’s being done by a person who has great leadership traits. And this brings my point to how you could apply these traits at work and in leading your businesses, organizations and team.

1. The Power of Alignment - Setting a clear Vision.

A great leader possesses a clear vision. He is courageous to lead that vision and has a clear focus of what needs to be done to attain that vision.

In many circumstances in the past few weeks leading to the elections, we saw one very clear role that Tun and his team of leaders had. They all led the role of articulating a clear vision for the future of Malaysia with a 100-day manifesto and this short-term vision gave hope to Malaysians of what Malaysia could be in the next 5 years to come if they are the governing administration.

Tun not only united the parties for a common goal but he was able to influence and unite the hearts of the rakyat to achieve this one similar vision – to REFORM MALAYSIA.

Likewise, in business, the power of alignment between a leader and the team plays a significant role in ensuring the vision, goals and objectives are met.

2. Identifying the same purpose - The Big Why and the common frustrations.

What are the main drivers of frustration for your team at the work place? What are the frustrations of your clients? In this context, what are the common frustrations of the rakyat. What are the common identifiable struggles? What's the future frustration if the problem is not resolved now?

Identifying the root problem is the foundation of addressing the common frustration as the livelihood of the rakyat depends on this. Likewise, if you don’t know what the critical issues and problems are faced by your team and clients within your organization, they will resort to other leaders, other products and brands or to any other available options to help them solve their frustrations.

That's why understanding, identifying, and eliminating the causes of frustration is critical for success.

Being a leader requires a lot of soft skills as you need to make sure that your team is comfortable with the goals that you are setting for the team. What is the Big Why for your team? Your organization? Why do you do what you do?

Leaders need to have a better working strategy and make sure that each and every one on the team is focused on achieving the same Big Why and results. This is what separates a high performing team from failing or underachieving.

Common goals are important not only because it gives your team focus on the big picture but because it brings people together and encourage them to communicate problems and results. This allows for a much earlier and faster recognition of problems to address as you progress to achieve your goals.

An obvious thing we have witnessed is the common goals and frustrations addressed by Tun and the party leaders. If that connection wasn’t clear, they would have been on shaky grounds. And by addressing the frustrations of the rakyat, they have minimized and eliminated fear, doubts and uncertainty about the rakyat’s future.

As such, it is critical to identify the common values of your team members. Goals need to be aligned with common values or you definitely won’t get people buying in.

3. Harnessing teamwork by negotiating for one coalition on an agreed and acceptable win-win formula for all parties involved.

Being a strategic planner, Tun first garnered teamwork by uniting the 4 parties to be represented as 1 united coalition for the 14th General Elections. By doing this, he had reduced confusion among the voters and lessened the dispersion of votes. So, voters did not have to decide among the 4, they just had to choose 1 unified party.

Imagine if Tun had not done so, the voters would have been undecided to elect their representatives as there are about 9-10 parties including the independent candidates.

It was definitely not an easy feat to unite the 4 parties as one, and this leads me to my next point – the negotiation skills of a leader, his ability to influence without authority and his proposed winning formula for one coalition.

4. Negotiate with the decision makers, the right people with influence over others.

A key skill relevant to leaders at all levels is the ability to positively influence people in such a way that others follow and act willingly, as opposed to complying because of the authority factor. This is the power to influence others without imposing your authority.

It’s a great skill that you could develop over time and with experience but it’s definite a powerful skill to have when you are able to influence others to voluntarily and willing act out of their own will just by sharing your vision or negotiating for common values and benefits.

Enemies. Rivals. Adversaries. Foes. Competitors. Haters. Critics. Skeptics. Sadly, in politics and business, we all have them.

They make our lives more difficult and less pleasant. And regrettably, enemies will always exist in your life. But they are just an additional obstacle on the way towards your goal. If you look for solutions, you can defeat them or make them your allies. We all have the ability to win over our enemies.

Let me explain. Here’s how. Win them over with cooperation.

Sometimes you can’t ignore them. If so, it is better to enlist the help of these people, rather than oppose them. Tell them that you understand their concerns. But tell them too that their help and support is very important to you. This is where the power to negotiate comes to play.

You must first understand your rivals. Who are they? What are they goals? Why do they oppose you? It’s the same scenario in the work place. Your rivals could be your colleague, your boss, a customer or anyone related to your work and business. Study them, their strengths and weaknesses and propose your winning formula for cooperation that benefits both you and your rival.

With great humility, Tun met his opponents requesting for cooperation. As we know, the opponents and Tun himself have had a painful past and unpleasant experiences, but for a common goal, they are willing to be professionally united though with differences in opinions. They are willing to let go of the past to achieve a higher goal that mutually benefits everyone for the future.

5. Lead from the front. Be the example.

The key factor to any leader is connection to the people they are leading. Who are the people that you are leading and do they believe in you? To be a great leader, first and foremost, mutual trust between you and your team is essential.

Nobody is going to give their all for a leader who can’t be forthright with the information or fails to keep up their end of a deal. Responsibility and dependability are critical traits of a great leader, and it earns respect from those who are working with you to achieve your vision.

At the end of the day, the key to effective leadership is commitment to the cause, being the first on and the last off the battlefield.

Did Tun and the party leaders portray this? Definitely they have led by example. They did their homework, they met the rakyat at grass-root level, they addressed their concerns, they communicated clearly with everyone and they shared with clarity how they plan to resolve the problems of the rakyat.

Is that a winning formula? I would say yes.

6. Declaring the winning manifesto which reflected the key frustrations of the people. Understanding what people want.

Why is it important to understand what people want? What do your clients or customers want? What do your employees want?

Basically, the social perception involves you as a leader being able to identify the mental states of others, their thoughts by putting yourself in someone else's shoes. This helps us understand their beliefs, feelings, experiences and intentions.

By understanding someone means you have the ability to empathize with that person. You are able to think along the lines of what the other person is thinking. You are able to reason out what transpired in someone’s mind before doing what they have done.

For example, understanding why did the rakyat protest the previous government? Or why did your customer buy from a competitor? Why did your employees leave?

Understanding with empathy is important because it helps us understand how others are feeling so we can respond appropriately to the situation. When you are able to empathize with others, you can build and sustain meaningful relationships, hold a job, or client effectively.

And the winning formula with the rakyat was creating a manifesto that understands and empathizes the rakyat’s frustrations.

7. Tun has been consistent in “advising” and “demanding for changes” up to the point that he is even willing to do whatever it takes to create the change.

Tun had always been outspoken in his views with regards to the progress of the country and the direction that the nation was heading to even long after his retirement 15 years ago.

He was always consistent in championing causes for the rakyat’s future. He wrote on his blogs, he spoke in public, he addressed the media, he collaborated with people, he met his opponents with humility, he admitted and apologized for his past mistakes, he adapted technology, he embraced young people, he in fact did everything possible to ensure he achieved his goal. And that every effort he built consistently over 15 years gave him his biggest victory.

Similarly, growing and running a business takes a tremendous amount of roll-up-your-sleeves and hard work. The long hours and "do whatever it takes to get the job done" work ethic is important to achieve success especially in the early phase of your business.

And as leaders and entrepreneurs, if you're going to do it, do it well, do it right. Be a role model for others to follow. You have to push yourself to be the best in what you do and stay laser-focused till you achieve success.

8. Push till the last mile. Never give up.

Sometimes, there comes times in the lives of all great leaders when they are pushed to their physical, emotional, mental or spiritual limits. Fatigued, exhausted and drained by their experiences, they still relentlessly pursue their journey. They never give up. It is their attitude and mindset to hold on to their hopes, dreams, determination and life’s purpose.

When the rakyat was rather uncertain on the victory rate of Tun and his party due to various known and unknown factors, Tun and his team still pursued relentlessly to campaign till the last mile. They exhausted every single medium, resources and people to reach out to the rakyat to champion for a common goal.

We`ve seen the content on social media, the virality of the news, the uprising of the rakyat and the gathering by thousands of people all over the country in very medium and platform.

The leaders were willing to sacrifice their time, resources, energy and effort to be that servant leader of love, caring and hope for the rakyat.

Would you do the same for your people, your team or your customers?

9. Constantly updating and communicating the progress. To build trust, confidence and to gain more support.

Communication is at the core of every political campaign. Certainly, issues like the economy, GST, unemployment, money laundering and policies matter, but the way Tun and the leaders conveyed their ideas to the voters hinges their success and ability to communicate messages effectively to the people.

Today, political parties no longer determine the election. The leaders and candidates must appeal to the voters directly and with greater frequency. They have to sell themselves to grab people's attention. And we’ve seen in the recent elections how social media has aided these leaders in their quest to effectively engage voters.

Leaders are communicators. Their key responsibilities are to “communicate, communicate and communicate even more.” Why? Because communication is fundamental to building trust.

It creates an environment of trust around leaders that enables them to lead effectively, engage employees and ultimately deliver results. And building trust in an organization requires a personal effort on the part of the leaders themselves besides a team effort.

10. Committed to Leadership

What does it mean to be a committed leader?

First of all, making a commitment involves dedicating yourself to a person, to something or to a cause. A commitment obligates you to do something. And leadership is a decision and obligation that you have towards others.

Are you prepared to lead the way to whatever you believe is right? We've all worked with leaders who show up every day with such determination, and others who are just there. Real leaders accept responsibility as the heads of their teams, and they're always working to do things better.

And once you've made that deliberate decision to be a leader, you must accept that the expectations are higher for you than for everyone else in your organization. You have a duty to your team, your customers, and your community.
To make a vision stick, you have to be committed to a set of core values that will bring the vision to life.

You need to understand that the values that you uphold as a leader will determine the behaviors, the culture and the success of your organization.

And when you do all that, your customers, your team and your people can see the difference.

As leaders and entrepreneurs, you must remember that you are not here merely to make a living or achieve your own success. You are here in order to enable the world to live more abundantly, with greater vision, with a greater spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world with your presence.

And that is what we see in Tun’s leadership. “Tun walk the talk.”

A wise quote from Ronald Reagan, the 40th U.S. President, “The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things."

Didn’t we all witness this on 9th May 2018? This day will be a day in the history of our country and the world for generations to come, and it is all because of one remarkable man and a great leader, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
