Why is their life still the same? Can their attitude still be changed

It is about getting better...

I have a relative who is not very well off and all ready a widow.  She keeps on trying to sell me properties which I do not need nor do I see opportunities

I promised to make her life better by being part of a deal.  

However:

1. She failed to deliver on her commitment/assignment - ie provide the funds.
2   She has difficulty in understanding.  She calls for a meeting, and her points are pointless if not exaggerated;   She talks while I talk and so with others.   Does not understand ethics in meeting
3.  Blatant dispaly of selfishness, entitlement, despite having no contributions to the team.

Now I am not wondering any more shy she is poor and why teams would not like them/her to be part of the group.

Do you think she can still improve, be better

The Secret of Success in Strategy - Applied

It is about getting better...

 

I was watching this HBO show on Pacific and there was this Marine General giving a pep talk to his Non Com officers prior to their leaving for their mission in the Pacific.  And he mentioned the greatest secret in strategy -  that the success of strategy lies in the execution by the middle managers - the sargeants.  He said that their success lies in the hands of the non com.  And the the sargeants agreed with his simple and yet powerful talk.

Thus the technical strategy books have to be junked in favor of:

1 Mintzberg commitment and collaboration by people towards a goal

2  Peter Senges shared vision and learning.

3.  Sun Tzu

4. Gen Giap

Without that common bond/and sharing of passion towards the goal, there cant be strategic success.  No swot, no EFE or IFE.  Just success, victory, victory.

Thus said the one the most brilliant modern strategist, the late Gen Giap of North Vietnam who defeated both the US and French Armies, despite superiority in numbers, technology and firepower.
