Opportunity Cost: Making a choice means sacrificing something else at the same time because we can’t have everything. If the value of what is given up is significant, then the choice incurs a relative loss, and it is up to the CEO to recognize this as a cost. In reality, whether I am aware of the opportunity cost or not, it still impacts my current financial situation. However, to calculate profit or loss as an opportunity cost, there must be a future opportunity to forgo the current choice and select an alternative. No one should keep repeating the cycle of giving up and choosing without knowing whether the next decision will be beneficial or not. Giving up is worthwhile only when the next option is good. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Problem-solving attitudes are largely divided into “problem-oriented coping” and “emotional-focused coping.” In a bad situation, wise risk management is “problem-oriented coping.” We want to exclude emotions as much as possible to define the problem and properly prioritize our behavior. Leaders manage people and issues well, not dictatorships or charisma. Emotions make the leader's charisma stand out, but the organization suffers tremendously from the emotional storm. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

We remember Apple founder Steve Jobs as a strong leader with a stubborn streak and charisma, but he also consistently upheld the company's core values as its leader. While developing the iPhone 4, Jobs wanted to incorporate solar charging. Still, Apple's engineers disagreed, arguing that the technology at the time, would make the iPhone thicker than previous models and compromise the company's core value of simplicity. When confronted, Jobs gave up to stand his ground and listened to the engineers. The most important thing about leadership is not charismatic authority, but defining the company's core values and complying with them, even a highest-level officer. It's not a matter of power, but of defining core values and ensuring that everyone in the company has common interests in their meaning and that this understanding is shared internally. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
