Stop avoiding tough tasks and start cultivating your resilience.
Fidan Aliyeva's insight:
Taking risks, and falling, is not something to avoid. It's something to cultivate. But how? Practice. Which you get by taking risks, feeling whatever you end up feeling, recognizing that it didn't kill you, and then getting on the board and paddling back into the surf. Have that difficult conversation. Listen without defensiveness when your colleague criticizes you. Name the elephant in the room. Get rejected. Delete the scoop?

“The Art of War” relates to the ancient Samurai warriors. The path of the Samurai is a quest for self-development that extends beyond fighting. The Samurai became successful in battle through true skill and the ability to withstand the desire for power and victory. “Samurai Business” inspires professionals to face politics without feeding them. The book helps to focus on self-development to the benefit of your environment, while being rewarded for your efforts. Apply the Samurai principles consistently and you may surprise yourself.

Fidan Aliyeva's insight:
It is quite interesting, how we even perceive the meaning of ‘manipulation’. We interpret it as something negative, while there is another side of the coin. we all are manipulators independent on our personality. I would say, it comes naturally, depending on what life situation we face and how ambitious are our motivations towards set goals, wishes.. In an organisation, as a leader, team performance, motivation, reinforcement depends directly on you, your management style and leadership skills. You need to be manipulative.Delete the scoop?
