Well, today I decided to register the domain connectmindanao.com as for now that is the name of my submarine cable project. And I postponed that a bit, as I want the name of my new company to be decided by the team. But it seems I am really the team leader and it seems I really have to set the pace, so I guess I’ll just do that from now on.
So somehow leadership is not democracy. Somehow you need to set the rules and show the way, walk the way. And then somehow people would or may follow you. Still not sure how that works, but a conversation with who I think is my second team member, shareholder and board member made that clear to me. As somehow it felt that he wanted me to decide some stuff, like indeed, who would be the board members and what would be the name.
Weird, somehow I want to be the leader, and I know now that I can be a leader, and somehow I still look for something like democracy, group decision. But apparently leadership is indeed deciding what to do and showing the way, setting the tone, walking the path and just hope people will follow.
Strange, but somehow I know I won’t give up with Connect Mindanao and Cagayan de Oro City as Internet City of the World. I can’t anymore, I have failed too many times, given up too many times.
