Key takeaways — The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership
- ✓ Unawain ang The Law of the Lid, na nagsasabing ang paglago ng iyong organisasyon ay nakadepende sa iyong sariling kakayahan sa pamumuno, kaya't napakahalaga ang patuloy na pagpapabuti sa sarili bilang isang estratehikong pangangailangan.
- ✓ Gamitin ang The Law of Influence sa pamamagitan ng pagtutok sa paglilingkod sa iba kaysa sa pag-asa lamang sa iyong titulo, dahil ang tunay na pamumuno ay hindi maaaring ipagkatiwala o ipasa.
- ✓ Samantalahin ang The Law of the Process sa pamamagitan ng paglalaan ng oras sa maliliit na araw-araw na gawi sa pamumuno, na nauunawaan na ang kagalingan ay naitatag sa pamamagitan ng palagiang aksyon sa paglipas ng panahon, hindi sa isang iglap.
Key takeaways — The Intelligent Investor
- ✓ Isabuhay ang prinsipyo ng Margin of Safety sa bawat pamumuhunan, na nangangahulugang bibili ka ng mga ari-arian na may malaking discount sa kanilang tunay na halaga upang maprotektahan laban sa posibleng pagkalugi.
- ✓ Gamitin ang Mr. Market sa iyong pabor sa pamamagitan ng pagbili kapag siya ay makulit na pessimistic at pagbebenta kapag siya ay sobra-sobrang optimistic, sa halip na sundin ang emosyon niya.
- ✓ Isabagay ang pananaw ng isang Defensive Investor, na nakatuon sa sistematikong pagpili ng mataas na kalidad na mga negosyo na undervalued at pagpapanatili ng isang balanseng, diversified na portfolio.
