Who is a Rider? As one may ask

  1. Rider is a man on horseback, journeying towards his goal.
  2. He knows his destination and requires no guidance.
  3. He leads through actions, using words sparingly to avoid wasting time or attracting opposition.
  4. He encourages others to join him, but does not wait for them. His vision inspires a sense of urgency in others to ride alongside him.
  5. He chooses the most efficient route to his goal, considering the difficulty of the journey. If a path proves unfruitful, he is willing to change direction, but he does not hesitate.
  6. He carefully considers options that are difficult to reverse and takes the time to make informed decisions.
  7. The rider understands the importance of rest. He is attuned to his body’s needs, knowing when to push forward and when to slow down to avoid burnout. He prioritizes tasks to maintain mental clarity, allowing him to stay focused on his goal.
  8. Surrounded by strong opinions, the rider uses data to support his arguments. In situations where data is scarce, he trusts his instincts and moves forward without burning bridges.
  9. He acts on his convictions and seeks forgiveness rather than permission. However, he respects authority and adheres to the rules, creating his own when necessary.
  10. His moral compass is steadfast; he knows he is not above the law.
  11. The rider empathizes with people but remains focused on his goal. He understands the importance of teamwork and assembles a group of trusted allies to accompany him. His leadership is thoughtful, not authoritative.
  12. He spends time identifying the correct goal and diligently works to achieve it.
  13. He thinks in frameworks and principles, allowing him to solve a wide range of problems, not just the immediate ones. Even if it means taking time away from immediate issues, he fights for this approach.
  14. Though the rider may sometimes feel like a servant seeking guidance, it is only in the pursuit of reaching his destination. He never doubts his direction.
