“The entrepreneur builds an
enterprise; the technician builds a job.” - Michael Gerber
In every classroom, the educators find
three types of students – above average, average and below average students. In
fact, the classroom is incomplete without this combination of categories. The
above average students often sit in the front rows in the classroom, the average
students in the middle, and the below average students in the back benches. When
the educators deliver their lectures, the rate of listening decreases gradually
from the front row to the last row where you find students in the front rows
are found to be great listeners with some of them taking the notes. However,
the students from back benches listen less to lectures but talk more among
themselves. Most time, the educators are annoyed with backbenchers as they will
not be able to concentrate on their lectures due to the noise created by the backbenchers.
And some of the frontbenchers don’t appreciate and associate with
backbenchers.
When we look at the results during
examinations, the frontbenchers excel greatly while the backbenchers perform
poorly. This is one side of the coin. When we look at the other side of the
coin, some of the backbenchers become successful politicians and entrepreneurs
while the frontbenchers excel greatly as intellectuals and become employees in
prestigious companies. Precisely, some of the backbenchers become the employers
while the frontbenchers become the employees. There are a number of reasons for
this. The frontbenchers follow the rules, and know how to make the rules
whereas the backbenchers often don’t follow the rules, and know how to make and
break rules.
When we look at great achievers like Richard
Branson, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Michael Dell, they were academically poor
but excelled as great entrepreneurs. Hence, it is the emotional intelligence
quotient (EQ) which is more important than intelligence quotient (IQ). It seems
the backbenchers possess more of EQ than IQ thus excelling as leaders as EQ is
one of the major factors for leadership success and effectiveness. Hereafter, don’t ignore and underestimate the
power of backbenchers who might surprise everyone by becoming as successful
leaders and entrepreneurs. Hence, we can conclude comfortably that some of the
backbenchers might become Bill Gates in future.

does what it can.” - Edward Bulwer-Lytton
