This week is our second to last week. I was so excited that we were so close that I just did all the readings and a lot of the work on Monday. When I had watched the videos and taken the quiz, I realized in my excitement that I had actually done all of Week 14's readings, video watching and quiz. I guess I got it done early. :)
This week, even though it was the 2nd week I had done this week, was still very good. We did a case study on Randy Haykin which was interesting. A few quick points I wanted to share about what I liked about him and that I thought were worth learning and noting. A list of do's if you will
- Always be learning
- Acknowledge your strengths as well as your weaknesses
- Balance your work and personal life
- Minimize your risk by using opportunities presented to you
- A partnership is like a good marriage, with multiple checks and balances as well as a complementary relationship
Another thing I thought that was interesting was in the paper we had to write. It asks the question, "What has Haykin's "toughest hurdle" as a business leader?" - There's actually a paragraph dedicated to what he felt it was. He basically said it was failure. In my paper, I chose the balance of work and life as my own toughest hurdle as I feel like I am personally acquainted with failure and to me it seems like something there to teach us more, but the struggle for balance never goes away.
Until "next" week. :)
