FLEXIBLE...SISTEMATIC...PERFECTIONIST????

Dalam dunia ni kita encounter ramai org. Ada org yg lay back, ada org yg simple, ada org yg tak kesah. Ada leader, ada follower, ada org berhati besar, ada org tak dek hati, ada org nak jadi pm, ada org nak bukak gerai belakang rumah je, ada org sistematic, ada org flexible.

Nama2 seperti, Bill Gates, The Walton Families, Micheal S. Dell, Donald Trump, or at our own backyard, Li-Ka Shing the asian tycoon, are not being where they are, in a blink of an eye. Firstly, they have big heart to conquer the world. Even though they after money, but they know what they want. They know what they need to have what they want. And they really, really work for what they want.

Is is hard to be like bill gates? What does it take to be like him? Think big man. Yup, if you want to be big person, then think big. But not like angan-angan mat jenin. He thinks really big, but just useless, because he doesnt work on his resources. Think what you have and work on what u have.

Rasulullah, walaupun Rasulullah bukan the most "powerful", "richest" man in his time. But he thinks big. And he made his companion think big. Ketika di mekah, seorang sahabat tanya Rasulullah (cik nur tak ingat sapa nanti check balik)..

"Ya Rasulullah, yg mana satu kita nak tawan dulu, Rome atau Constantinopel?"
"Constantinople"jawab Rasulullah.

Dan akhirnya, setelah kewafatan Rasulullah, sahabat dpt tawan bukan sahaja constantinople, malah rome, parsi, india, china, sepanyol. (juga tak ingat sahabat2 yg tawan tpt2 ni, nanti check balik) dan kuasa2 besar dunia yg lain. Tapi Salahuddin Al-Ayyubi tak pergi dgn tangan kosong. Beliau pergi setelah work on his resources, dan segalanya berserah pada Allah. Cara beliau work on his resources... baca la sirah.. mcm mana beliau tanamkan sifat dan pengharapan kepada Alah kepada tentera2nya, this is how we work on our resources utk menawan dunia.

And utk work on the resources, u need to sacrifice everything. Even your family. Lagi bagus kalau family pun faham akan matlamat kita. Dan di sini la datangnya, flexibility, and sistematic. We know our long route, Cam flow chart yg besar, dari CEO to jatuh kat bawah, adala 4 ke 5 tangga utk pergi ke director for each OPU (operation units). Tp, in each section, ada bnyk lagi tangga dia. eg. from an executive, then manager, than general manager, then senior manager, then director (kot tak ingat sgt)

anyway, utk sampai ke matlamat yg besar tu, basically kita kena lalui tangga yg kecik2 dan bnyk ni dulu la. Dan dalam tangga2 yg banyak ni la ada org yg flexible berjumpa dgn org yg sistematic. dan kadang2 berlaku clash, in these 2 categories.

Flexible vs Sistematic

what is flexible and what is sistematic??? Mengikut definition cik nur.. flexible is somebody that can easily lentur him/herself, towards the situation. Org yg flexible juga kadang2 adalah org yg sistematic. Cik nur menyifatkan, lawan flexible adalah rigid. Dan lawan flexible bukan sistematic.

Kalau kita belajar management skills, kita kene jadi sistematic. Tapi kita tak boleh rigid. Sesuatu rancangan yg dirancang itu mestilah bersistem, teratur, dan work on the strategies, so that we achieve our goal. However, sometimes, the thing that has been planned doesnt always work out. Such as, we planned to go to some place with a muslim brother and sisters there, it turns out that those people didnt welcomed us at all..

As a leader, or somebody that has been studying at the University overseas, eventhough you are doing engineering, and not taking management or what ever subject related to it. U are expected to think like a manager. First and foremost, how can somebody be called a person doing daawah work, if he is not a good manager to himself?Even How can somebody, be sent to australia such for example by big multinasional company if they cant manage their time. and they dont know how to work on their resources????

So, dont make any excuses if you are not doing management, then you cant manage yourself. Because, Allah has provide us with akal, and u have to use it to think, like a manager!!!. However, this doesnt always work. People might think, bump into something and if its doesnt work out, then change our planned directly.Or doesnt even have any calculated, sistematic, strategic plan in the first place and just go and bump into something and stay calm, and change whatever that suits the situation... as a flexible person.

This is for me is maybe flexible, but so unorganised, not sistematic, and unstrategic. Maybe I'm perfectionist but, thats it. Donald Trump didnt built his empire by bump into something and change it directly if it doesnt suits the situation. He has calculated the risk, he did all the hard job and planed his strategies, and work on it. Ask him man, how many planned he has. Micheal Dell when he starts to sell his computer, i bet you he has at least 3 plans. if one doesnt work, then he goes to his plan B, if it doesnt work, he goes to his plan C. When he wants to sell his computer to south east asia for example, firstly he has build his repor, he work on the culture, he did the study on his customers, and not just... ring a person that he doesnt even know and say...

"We want to sell our dell computer there, and the truck is coming next week, and we need a place to store our computers, and we need bla bla bla bla bla bla!!!"

He didnt just do this thing man!!!! I kept thinking, why people take something too unseriously. Such for example, doing jaulah to some place that u doesnt even know the people, you want to bump into them and then ask them to do what u want. Hey man!!! please have some emphaty in yourself. And use your akal that has been given from Allah to think, and put yourself into some other people's shoe.

Bukankah, org Islam itu lembut, dan tidak keras, bukakah org Islam itu sepatutnya memahami. Bukankah sepatutnya, apabila anda telah melalui proses tarbiyah, secara tak langsung, sifat2 yg baik ini akan ada juga??? I dont know, maybe I'm not the best person to talk about this since I dont know the people who are working on these things.

However, what I do know is, when you want to bump into some people, and you want them to do what you do (if you think what you r doing is good), then create a win-win situation.

Maybe something like jaulah and lawat your brother and sisters in Islam, is soooo noble and you cant use the word win-win situation.. (because it sounds so materialistic, and business minded!!!).. But Islam teaches us to make easy for everybody. Especially to our muslim brothers and sisters. And dont tell me that u never think of, org ni willing ke nak terima kita or, derang ni bersedia ke atau tidak or, kita tak susahkan derang ke???? If we didnt think about what others feels when we want to do something, check back your heart. Maybe u r worried too much about something until you forget what the best thing to do to please your brothers and sisters in order to please Allah.

So, am I perfectionist? I would say yes, I am fussy, too sistematic in some tasks, some people might think it is hard to work with me. Yup, think what ever you like. But I think I'm pretty flexible, I have plan B and C, for the things that Ive planned. And frankly speaking, I can be really harsh at sometimes, especially when you are creating win-lose situation. I am sell fish!
