"The pessimist complains about the wind. The optimist expects it to change. The leader adjusts the sails.”
-John Maxwell
Dear WeVysian,
This Leadership Manual is designed to acquaint the PREVAILING and NOVEL LEADERS of WeVysya to its culture and vision. A Leader will always be entrusted to uphold a relentlessly high standard. The achievement expectations from them will always be awe-inspiring for the others. The very essence of leadership is to work together persistently to achieve a common goal or objective. Auxiliary, we believe that the ability to learn is the most important trait a leader can have. Therefore, Leadership and learning are inseparable and we are all gathered here to attend WeVysya LAMP (Leadership Accelerator Management Program).
WeVysya PREAMBLE
Stop Thinking I, Start Thinking We! WeVysya trusts that their Leaders are modest enough to appreciate that their accomplishments depend upon the actions and activities of the people in their team. Correspondingly WeVysya believes that their Leaders plays a very significant role towards achieving the mission as without competent leaders it is like a ship sailing without a captain guiding which way to go. WeVysya’s guiding principles are as follows –
1. INTEGRITY – We Do What We Say and Say What We Do as it is a seed for achievement.
2. GROWTH - We Work on Making Each Today Better than Yesterday, as Growth is never by mere chance; it is the result of forces working together.
3. WIN-WIN - Success comes from finding win-win solutions and ensures nobody fails.
