The first two chapters engage my mind and make me think of the different speakers I have listened to. One of the key points mentioned in the first chapter is that leadership is a process. I think it is important to understand and not to become discouraged when different challenges arises. Some of the best and most influential people in history failed numerous times. However one does not focus on the failures but rather the successes.
"You make the difference" is one of the subtitles in the first chapter. This is crucial in leadership and reminds me of a speech I did at Carrol College this summer. You can not be successful leader if you don't believe in yourself. Believing in yourself may mean surrounding yourself with someone that can help you overcome an insecurities to develop that belief. The process of developing the leader within you will only flourish if you by into your vision first and that may mean linking arms with someone to help you. Which means there has to be a vision to begin with. Just like we need a blueprint to build a house or a road map to get to our destination, we need that same kind of guide for ourselves.
