Are you a Ronin?

The term 'Ronin', refers to ancient Japanese Samurais who were no longer under the command of their master. They then had to live independently without taking instruction from anyone else but themselves.

These days, the modern Ronin in the business world are those who dare challenge the past and are willing to change in order to move ahead.

Are you a Ronin? Well, let's see:

- Are you a high achiever and also someone who wants to contribute to creating a better society?

- Are you self reliant and an adventurer?

- Are you inwardly reflective of yourself?

- Are you someone who is confident and self motivated whilst always willing and wanting to learn?

- Are you persistent and determined?

- Do you possess high tolerance for the ambiguous and uncertain situations?

- Are you committed to your organisation's values and goals whilst being able to rethink and adapt to changing circunstances?

- Are you someone with 'helicopter vision', being able to see the broad picture?

- Are you open to new experiences whilst being open to re-examining how things were done in the past and learning from the mistakes?
