The Hurdler
The Hurdler is a tireless problem-solver who gets a charge out of tackling something that’s never been done before. When confronted with a challenge, the Hurdler gracefully sidesteps the obstacle while maintaining a quiet, positive determination. This optimism and perseverance can help big ideas upend the status quo as well as turn setbacks into an organization’s greatest successes–despite doomsday forecasting by shortsighted experts.
It happened last year, my clients in US had a typical problem. Time was critical. Solution was not in near sight. They were not able to assign the work to me too… I was overloaded with work. I took a challange without the permission of the CEO, tried a few patches in the code which needed Ajax. Uploaded the code. They did not realize my changes initially. It worked some how! CEO called a meeting and wanted to know the possibilities of better performance. I explained, ruled out by a senior programmer, his suggeset to provide more XML routines. Soon the solution emerged out.
To everyone’s surprise it was completed, ahead of time. If I had not persisted, it would have taken more time.
