This book is about leadership. I heard about the author Rebecca Halstead on an interview she was having at Steven Shallenberge’s podcast about leadership and she talked about her book and I seriously didn’t think it would be as good as it is.
You would think when you have a child, take classes and take care of everything else in life you don’t have time to be reading but the truth of the matter is that you have to make time. I love this book and I want to share few things about leadership.
You have one person to lead- that person is YOU.
If you want to change yourself, your family, your community and your work place you need to start drawing a mental circle. If you want change, you need to start inside your personal circle.
In other words the first person you should lead is you.
Be the change you wish to see in the world.
I will never ask someone to do something I was not willing to do myself.
I had to talk the talk and walk the walk.
Leadership is your choice. Character is who you are when no one is watching.
Are leaders born or made? What do you think? Take some time to think about this. What skills and traits, values and behaviors make up your leadership chemistry?
You must identify your strengths and manage your weaknesses. This is the second time I see this. Remember that no one is ever too old or important to stop learning.
The day you stop learning is the day you stop leading, for that matter is the day you stop really living.
I hope this gives you a little synopsis about what the book is all about. I recommend you to read it. Once I’m done I will write more about leadership and why you are the first person you need to lead.
God bless,
Jani
