How's Dsw Reward Program

OTHER WORLD CUP


How could it be otherwise, the football world has begun to change our daily lives. Debuted yesterday the English team in this World Cup, where we arrived by the back door of the playoffs.
I have to put forward that I am an absolute ignorant of the sport and therefore this is not a scientific article about the findings of football that I perform. As I could not watch the game - not like most of the English-after learning the result saw a summary. Themselves solely and exclusively to that summary, went on to narrate what I saw:
The first goal, there is a "header" that is done, not the head itself and that after hitting a defender opposite , goalkeeper can not punt, can not say that it is a beautifully crafted goal.
The second, materializes to throw a kick from outside the area and diverting one of the defenders of the barrier by the goalkeeper stretched useless.
The third occurs when the referee whistle a penalty, apparently non-existent, also the expulsion of one of the rivals went down to ten players, ie with one less for the rest of the game. If that was not enough, the launch of the penalty is pretty bad getting to touch the ball the keeper, but can not avoid, even for very little, the ball staying in your goal.
Of course, the fourth re done with a great play and the game time limit.
If all these incidents have not been as positive, the English team would have been in the last minutes of the match scoreless at the best. The truth is that it was not so and the game ended with a resounding 4 to 0, and most pleased with the English team play.
What does not appear in the summary that I had the opportunity to see, was the whole game plan, individual and collective work for more than 90 minutes, the desire, enthusiasm, commitment and other qualities that squandered many components of the English.
As shown, the results are important but were probably the most important aspects of attitudes, but are sure that the outcome had not occurred.
How many times in our business we look at only the summary result and overlook the other aspects that determined the outcome?
In any case, attitudes make a difference, and hopefully that attitude campenonato continue throughout the World Cup, which surely will lead to good results.

César Pérez de Tudela, A LEADER


Perez de Tudela, A LEADER


Today I had the opportunity to attend the tribute under the auspices of the Community of Madrid is a tribute to the great mountaineer , adventurer, explorer, writer and intellectual who is César Pérez de Tudela. Much has been written and we discussed the characteristics of a leader. Everyone has probably had a point. Now go listen to the different participants in the act of homage I've been noting those skills or observable behaviors - in this case observed by them, and certainly make a compendium of what could be a leader. Surely when we talk about these behaviors or behaviors is the level considered necessary or circumstances that should be implemented, but it does not seem debatable is that they must be part of any person who aspires to be a leader. Step
list them as they have been exposed: TENACITY

, is one of the features that determined the success of many of the leaders, Caesar has had the highest degree and in limited circumstances.

COURAGE, another of the enormous differences between leaders and those who are not is that urge to go a step further and challenges with the conviction that they are achievable. GENEROSITY

, perhaps this is one that I consider as key, and on the other hand, the less common today. INDEPENDENCE

, the fact of not caring beyond what is necessary on the say and is closely linked to the COHERENCE , more than 50 years in the profession with a clearly marked line to confirm this.

SERVICE TO OTHERS, understanding leadership as serving others and not use them.

intellectual concerns, but obvious is transcendental, doctor, licensed in two races, a member of several academies, expert and knowledgeable in many fields, there is no doubt that we have a person with that behavior. PASSION

, no need to be more than two minutes with Caesar to sense how much passion and enthusiasm to live each of their experiences.

NOTICE ABOUT CASH or if anything stands out from other Caesar is his way of telling, whether live, writing, or on radio or television media to communicate your way makes their experiences are those of all who surround.

Besides these, I add other skills or attitudes that I could see clearly, and they are:

HUMILITY, to see how a person who has overcome great challenges and always tops the boundary edge and huge risks minimize them and their successes especially admired by others.

have a mission, always have a mission and a compelling reason to meet the challenges proposed.

Finally, I would say its great HUMANITY, a friend of his friends and yet every one of those who are on your side.

Therefore, it seems clear that we have a leader, and we would all possess these qualities in our daily work. Congratulations on this well-deserved tribute and hopefully with the passage of time is short to return to toast your new successes.

Receive my warm and loving congratulations.
