This is an interesting article by Steve Watkins. He basically discusses looking at Mother Teresa and analyzing her efforts more from the stand point of a business leader than as a humanitarian.
While many people know Mother Teresa for efforts in helping the poor, many people forget that she built an organization from the ground up. She started out as a small outfit and transitioned into a global one, which employs more than 4,000 people. Here are some goals any business leader can benefit from.
Set boundaries- Mother Teresa drew an ethical l
ine and stuck to it
Decide your focus- Mother Teresa's main aim was to serve the poorest of the poor. Decide what your mission is and stick to it
Plan ahead- Set your values and follow them
Spread the word- Make sure everyone in your organization knows what's important and what principles go into each decision
Take the long view- Understand who you are and tie it to all that you do. Never lose sight of that.
