He was the shift commander of the Chilean miners who were pinned nearly half mile underground by 7,00,000 tone of rock.
He used all his wit and his leadership skills to help his men stay calm and in control for 17 days till the rescuers found them and then over two months while the rescue process was on. He stretched the emergency food supply meant to last just for 48 hours to over two weeks.
He made risky but calculated decisions to use a bull dozer to carve into a water deposit. A minor error could lead to a cave-in or the cave filling with water.
He is the man who kept his people’s spirit high by using prayer,morale boosting stories and at times force. He is the man who the world salutes.
Luiz Urzua – our role model for the week.
Our lesson:
Entrepreneurship is a lonely road. In philosophy, the bleakness of the human condition is a recurring theme. Place people in a situation where they are reduced to the most basic instincts of survival and their darker selves will take over. Entrepreneurs should have a strong will to survive. What ever happens there is no looking back. Whatever be the challenges ,you should guide yourself and your team members to shore. No problem is unsolvable, it can be solved by looking at it in another perspective.
