Cornerstone always had a significant position in any building that has to stand a true test of time! It sets the reference for all other stones/bricks that make the building! So it defines the position of the entire structure!
This is true while building a long lasting relationship with any customer, employer, team, business, partner, friend or own career! The speed god of today is so influential that focus is always on hear and now! So, we might tend to miss the need for building a stronger base for tomorrow. Resulting structure mostly has a cornerstone etched in hurry, placed with not much of care and purely based on convenience.
Sidestepping is an alternative to consider, when the cornerstone is found to be faulty or fragile! costly, but useful for all those who are serious about what they would like to live/stand for!
A structure will stand the test of time better than the rest – when trust & transparency become the brick & mortar with Value as cornerstone!
What is your cornerstone?
