Today we learned all about leadership and how important it is, and how we all posses some of the needed skills to be a leader.
Five Propositions
- There are very few natural born leaders
- A leader must be trusted
- A leader must always remember the bigger picture
- Leadership can be a lonely place
- Leadership and management are NOT the same thing
After talking about these five propositions, we watched a 25 minute video about leadership. There were a few key principles that we thought were important from the movie.
- Speak possibility
- Dont take your own needs so seriously (Rule #6)
- Leaders awake the power in other people, they serve the people.
- Leaders act to make others grow
- See and make new pathways.
- Rethinking different ways to do what we do daily.
After the movie the class split into two groups, my group was to list all attributes we thought a leader should have such as...
- Trustworthy
- Confident
- Humble
- Self-less
- Bold
- Dedicated
- Patient
- Loving
- Emphatic
- Compassionate
- Wise
- Knowledgeable
- Good communication skills
There are many more attributes a leader should aspire to have, but this is just a short list. While we made our list, the other class made a list of people who they thought were leaders in their own way. We all got together and discussed any other attributes the other half of the class thought we missed, and then we talked about a few different leaders to examine which leadership attributes they had and which ones they lacked.
