Drew Dudley: Everyday leadership

Prevoditelj: Mladen Barešić Recezent: Senzos Osijek

I wanted to just start by asking everyone a question:

Htio sam početi tako da vam postavim pitanje:

How many of you are completely comfortable

Koliko vas se osjeća potpuno ugodno

nazvati se vođom?

with calling yourselves a leader?

Vidite, postavljao sam to pitanje diljem cijele zemlje

I've asked that question all across the country,

and everywhere I ask it, no matter where,

i gdje god to pitam, nije važno gdje,

there's a huge portion of the audience that won't put up their hand.

postoji uvijek veliki dio publike koji ne želi podići ruku.

Shvatio sam da smo vodstvo učinili

And I've come to realize that we have made leadership

nečim što je veće od nas.

into something bigger than us; something beyond us.

Nečim što je iznad nas.

Kao da je riječ o mijenjanju svijeta.

We've made it about changing the world.

We've taken this title of "leader"

Uzeli smo tu titulu vođe i odnosimo se prema njoj

and treat it as something that one day we're going to deserve.

kao da je ona nešto što ćemo jednog dana zaslužiti,

But to give it to ourselves right now

ali kada bismo si ju uzeli sada, značilo bi da smo

means a level of arrogance or cockiness that we're not comfortable with.

arogantni i umišljeni do razine kada se više ne osjećamo ugodno.

And I worry sometimes that we spend so much time

Ponekad me brine što trošimo toliko vremena

slaveći nevjerojatne stvari koje malo tko može učiniti,

celebrating amazing things that hardly anybody can do,

that we've convinced ourselves those are the only things worth celebrating.

da smo se uvjerili kako su one

jedine vrijedne slavljenja, i počeli smo

We start to devalue the things we can do every day,

manje cijeniti ono što možemo činiti svaki dan, a u

trenucima kada doista jesmo vođe

We take moments where we truly are a leader

and we don't let ourselves take credit for it, or feel good about it.

ne dozvoljavamo si preuzimanje zasluge za to

i ne dozvoljavamo si da se osjećamo dobro zbog toga.

I've been lucky enough over the last 10 years

Imao sam dovoljno sreće da tijekom zadnjih

10 godina radim s nevjerojatnim ljudima

to work with amazing people who've helped me redefine leadership

koji su mi pomogli promijeniti definiciju vodstva na način

koji mislim da me učinio sretnijim.

in a way that I think has made me happier.

U kratkom vremenu koje danas imam, želim s vama podjeliti

With my short time today,

I want to share with you the one story that is probably most responsible

priču koja je vjerojatno najzaslužnija za tu promjenu definicije.

for that redefinition.

I went to a little school

Radio sam na sveučilištu, malom sveučilištu koje se zvalo

called Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick.

Maunt Alison University smješteno u Sackville-u, New Brunswick (Kanada)

i zadnji dan koji sam radio tamo, prišla mi je djevojka

And on my last day there, a girl came up to me and said,

i rekla:

"I remember the first time I met you."

Onda mi je ispričala priču koja se dogodila 4 godine ranije.

And she told me a story that had happened four years earlier.

Rekla je: "Dan prije nego što sam se upisala na sveučilište,

She said, "On the day before I started university,

I was in the hotel room with my mom and dad,

bila sam u hotelskoj sobi s mamom i tatom

and I was so scared and so convinced that I couldn't do this,

i bila sam tako uplašena i tako uvjerena da ja to ne mogu,

that I wasn't ready for university, that I just burst into tears.

da nisam spremna za sveučilište, da sam jednostavno briznula u plač.

My mom and dad were amazing.

Moji mama i tata bili su nevjerojatni. Rekli su:

They were like, "We know you're scared, but let's just go tomorrow,

"Gle, znamo da se bojiš, ali idemo sutra.

Idemo prvi dan i ako u bilo kojem trenutku

go to the first day, and if at any point you feel as if you can't do this,

osjetiš da ti to ne možeš,

that's fine; tell us, and we'll take you home.

odvest ćemo te kući. Volimo te bez obzira na sve."

We love you no matter what.'"

Rekla je: " Tako sam otišla sljedećeg dana

She says, "So I went the next day.

i stajala u redu za upise,

I was in line for registration,

and I looked around and just knew I couldn't do it; I wasn't ready.

gledala sam oko sebe i jednostavno znala da ja to ne mogu.

Znala sam da nisam spremna. Da moram odustati."

I knew I had to quit.

I made that decision and as soon as I made it,

Rekla je: "Donijela sam odluku i čim sam ju donijela

doživjela sam nevjerojatan osjećaj mira.

an incredible feeling of peace came over me.

Okrenula sam se prema mami i tati da im kažem

I turned to my mom and dad to tell them we needed to go home,

da moramo ići doma i baš u tome trenutku,

and at that moment, you came out of the student union building

Vi ste izašli iz zgrade Studentskog Zbora

noseći najgluplji šešir koji sam vidjela u životu." (Smijeh)

wearing the stupidest hat I've ever seen in my life."

(Laughter)

"It was awesome.

"Bilo je super.

Imali ste veliki natpis na kojem je pisalo Shinerama

And you had a big sign promoting Shinerama," --

što znači Studenti protiv cistične fibroze,"

which is Students Fighting Cystic Fibrosis,

-dobrotvorna ustanova za koju radim već godinama-

a charity I've worked with for years --

" i imali ste kantu punu lizalica.

"And you had a bucketful of lollipops.

Šetali ste i djelili lizalice

You were handing the lollipops out to people in line,

ljudima u redu i pričali o Shinerami.

and talking about Shinerama.

All of the sudden, you got to me, and you just stopped.

Odjednom, došli ste do mene i samo ste se zaustavili

i buljili ste. Bilo je jezivo." (Smijeh)

And you stared. It was creepy."

(Laughter)

This girl knows what I'm talking about.

Ova cura ovdje zna o čemu govorim. (Smijeh)

(Laughter)

"Then you looked at the guy next to me, smiled, reached into your bucket,

"Onda ste pogledali dečka koji je stajao do mene,

nasmiješili ste se, posegnuli u kantu, izvadili

lizalicu, pružili je prema njemu i rekli:

pulled out a lollipop, held it out to him and said,

"Moraš dati ovu lizalicu predivnoj djevojci koja stoji pokraj tebe."

'You need to give a lollipop to the beautiful woman next to you.'"

I priča dalje:" Nisam nikad u životu vidjela da nekom tako brzo postane tako jako neugodno."

She said, "I've never seen anyone get more embarrassed faster in my life.

He turned beet red, he wouldn't even look at me.

Pocrvenio je i uopće nije htio pogledati prema meni.

Samo je ovako nekako ispružio lizalicu." (Smijeh)

He just kind of held the lollipop out like this."

(Laughter)

"I felt so bad for this dude that I took the lollipop.

"Bilo mi je tako žao lika da sam uzela lizalicu

As soon as I did, you got this incredibly severe look on your face,

i čim sam je uzela, Vi ste imali taj nevjerojatno ozbiljan

izraz lica i pogledali ste moju mamu i mog tatu

looked at my mom and dad and said, 'Look at that! Look at that!

i rekli ste: "Pogledajte to. Pogledajte.

Prvi dan daleko od kuće, a već uzima slatkiše

First day away from home,

and already she's taking candy from a stranger?'"

od nepoznate osobe?!" (Smijeh)

(Laughter)

Rekla je: "Svi su se počeli smijati. Nekoliko metara dalje

She said, "Everybody lost it.

Twenty feet in every direction, everyone started to howl.

u svim smjerovima ljudi su se smijali.

I know this is cheesy, and I don't know why I'm telling you this,

I znam da je ovo sladunjavo i ne znam ni zašto vam to govorim,

ali u tome trenutku kada su se svi smijali,

but in that moment when everyone was laughing, I knew I shouldn't quit.

znala sam da ne bi trebala odustati.

I knew I was where I was supposed to be; I knew I was home.

Znala sam da sam ondje gdje trebam biti

i znala sam da sam doma, a nisam s vama progovorila

And I haven't spoken to you once in the four years since that day.

ni jednom u 4 godine od tog dana,

ali sam čula da odlazite

But I heard that you were leaving, and I had to come and tell you

i morala sam doći do vas i reći vam

da ste bili izuzetno važna osoba u mom životu i da ćete mi nedostajati. Sretno."

you've been an incredibly important person in my life.

I'm going to miss you. Good luck."

And she walks away, and I'm flattened.

Ona se udaljava, a ja ne mogu vjerovati.

She gets six feet away, turns around, smiles and goes,

Udaljila se otprilike dva metra od mene, okrenula se, nasmiješila

"You should probably know this, too:

i rekla: "Vjerojatno biste trebali znati i ovo.

Još uvijek hodam s tim likom, 4 godine poslije." (Smijeh)

I'm still dating that guy, four years later."

(Laughter)

A year and a half after I moved to Toronto,

Godinu i pol nakon što sam se odselio u Toronto

I got an invitation to their wedding.

dobio sam pozivnicu za njihovo vjenčanje.

(Laughter)

Here's the kicker: I don't remember that.

Evo što je začuđujuće. Uopće se toga ne sjećam.

I have no recollection of that moment.

Nemam sjećanja vezanih za taj trenutak,

I've searched my memory banks,

a pretražio sam sva sjećanja, jer je smiješno

because that is funny and I should remember doing it and I don't.

i trebao bi se sjećati toga, a ne sjećam se.

To je bio iznenađujući, spoznajni trenutak za mene

That was such an eye-opening, transformative moment for me,

da vjerojatno najveći utjecaj koji sam imao na nečiji život

to think that maybe the biggest impact I'd ever had on anyone's life,

trenutak zbog kojeg je djevojka prišla

a moment that had a woman walk up to a stranger four years later and say,

strancu 4 godine kasnije i rekla:

"Bili ste izuzetno važna osoba u mom životu,"

"You've been an important person in my life,"

je trenutak kojeg se ni ne sjećam.

was a moment that I didn't even remember.

Koliko vas ima "Lizalica" trenutak,

How many of you guys have a lollipop moment,

trenutak u kojem je netko rekao ili učinio nešto

a moment where someone said or did something

za što mislite da je istinski učinilo vaš život boljim?

that you feel fundamentally made your life better?

Dobro. Koliko vas je reklo toj osobi da su to učinili?

All right. How many of you have told that person they did it?

See, why not?

Vidite, zašto ne? Slavimo rođendane,

We celebrate birthdays,

where all you have to do is not die for 365 days --

gdje sve što morate napraviti je ne umrijeti 365 dana (Smijeh)

(Laughter)

Yet we let people who have made our lives better

dok ljude koji su poboljšali naš život pustimo

da hodaju okolo i to ni ne znaju.

walk around without knowing it.

Every single one of you has been the catalyst

A svaki od vas, svaki od vas

je bio katalizator za takav trenutak.

for a lollipop moment.

You've made someone's life better by something you said or did.

Učinili ste nečiji život boljim, nečim što

ste rekli ili napravili, a ako mislite da niste,

If you think you haven't,

think of all the hands that didn't go up when I asked.

razmislite o svim rukama koje se nisu digle kad sam postavio to pitanje.

Vi ste samo jedan od ljudi kojima to nitko nije rekao.

You're just one of the people who hasn't been told.

Tako je zastrašujuće razmišljati o nama kao tako moćnima.

It's scary to think of ourselves as that powerful,

frightening to think we can matter that much to other people.

Može biti strašno razmišljati da toliko možemo značiti

drugim ljudima, jer dok vodstvo smatramo nečim većim od nas,

As long as we make leadership something bigger than us,

as long as we keep leadership beyond us

nečim iznad nas,

and make it about changing the world,

dok mislimo da se radi o mijenjanju svijeta,

dajemo si opravdanje da ga ne očekujemo

we give ourselves an excuse not to expect it every day,

svaki dan od nas samih i jedni od drugih.

from ourselves and from each other.

Marianne Williamson said, "Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Marianne Williamson je rekla: "Naš najveći strah nije da smo neadekvatni.

Naš najveći strah je da smo neizmjerno moćni.

[It] is that we are powerful beyond measure.

Naše je svjetlo, a ne naša tama ono što nas plaši."

It is our light and not our darkness that frightens us."

A moj poziv na akciju danas je da moramo prijeći preko toga.

My call to action today is that we need to get over our fear

Moramo pobijediti strah kako izvanredno moćni

of how extraordinarily powerful we can be in each other's lives.

možemo biti u životima drugih.

Moramo prijeći preko toga kako bismo mogli krenuti dalje,

We need to get over it so we can move beyond it,

and our little brothers and sisters and one day our kids --

kako bi naša mlađa braća i sestre, a jednoga dana i naša djeca

or our kids right now -- can watch and start to value

-ili naša djeca sada- mogla gledati i početi cijeniti

the impact we can have on each other's lives,

utjecaj koji možemo imati na živote drugih

više nego novac, moć, titule i utjecaj.

more than money and power and titles and influence.

We need to redefine leadership as being about lollipop moments --

Moramo promjeniti definiciju vodstva na način da se radi o ovakvim "Lizalica" trenucima,

how many of them we create, how many we acknowledge,

koliko ih stvorimo, koliko smo ih svjesni,

how many of them we pay forward and how many we say thank you for.

koliko ih proslijedimo i za koliko njih kažemo hvala.

Because we've made leadership about changing the world,

Jer, od vodstva smo učinili kao da je riječ o mijenjanju svijeta,

and there is no world.

a svijeta nema. Postoji tek 6 milijardi razumijevanja svijeta,

There's only six billion understandings of it.

And if you change one person's understanding of it,

i promijenite li razumijevanje svijeta jedne osobe,

njeno razumijevanje onoga za što je sve sposobna,

understanding of what they're capable of,

razumijevanje koliko je ljudima do nje stalo,

understanding of how much people care about them,

razumijevanje toga koliko snažan promicatelj

understanding of how powerful an agent for change

promjene može biti u ovome svijetu, izmijenili ste sve.

they can be in this world,

you've changed the whole thing.

Ako tako uspijemo pojmiti vodstvo,

And if we can understand leadership like that,

I think if we can redefine leadership like that,

tj. uspijemo li tako redefinirati vodstvo,

mislim da možemo promijeniti sve.

I think we can change everything.

And it's a simple idea, but I don't think it's a small one.

To je jednostavna zamisao, ali ne mislim da je malena,

I want to thank you so much for letting me share it with you today.

i želim vam od srca svima zahvaliti što ste mi dopustili da je danas podijelim s vama.
