I enjoyed reading about Randy Haykin’s entrepreneurial
journey this week. He had some great
experiences that give me some things to think about. As I read the sections about his leadership
roles, I learned about what makes a really good leader. Haykin pointed out several things that he
does well. He recognized what his strengths
are as a leader. But he also readily acknowledges areas where he wants to be
better. Instead of saying, “oh, I can’t
do that, that’s not what I’m good at” he researches and studies to find out how
to do it better. He talks about how he
researched ways to reward and motivate himself as well as his employees. I believe that they employees would not only
become better at what they are doing, but more loyal and dedicated workers as
well. Haykin also researches the market
and his competitors. I can only imagine
how that will help him to stay on top of his game in his field. This would also make him extremely valuable
to his customers. I believe that the market he serves is sensitive to the latest
trends and advances in technology. By
staying on the cutting edge of his market, he will always be able to provide the
very best services to his customers.
