If you choose to bring children into this world, then your job is to be able to educate them, create that environment, provide them with the security and the love that they need, then they can go on and bring about change.
This has been highlighted by Communications Fiji Limited and Leadership Fiji’s Chairman, and former President of Pacific Islands News Association, William Parkinson while responding to questions on fijivillage Straight Talk with Vijay Narayan.
CFL is the parent company of FM96, LegendFM, VitiFM, Navtarang, Radio Sargam, fijivillage and PNGFM.
Parkinson says the first leadership role for any parent is being a parent and once parents have achieved that, then they can move on and start to grow and build the society around them.
While talking about the culture at CFL, Parkinson says people know they are going to get paid and be supported in their decision-making.
He says he is constantly amazed and sometimes bewildered by the decision-making that is done at CFL, particularly by some of younger members of the team but it is thrilling and they know that he will support them in that process.
Parkinson says one of the things that he is recognizing as an older person now is that one of the toughest decision is to just step out of the way and say he is not needed anymore.
He says he will always stand in the background, and provide support as required.
