1. Your reactions to what you have read so far since last time you posted. Have any of your thoughts about the book changed? What has stood out so far? What do you agree/disagree with?
2. Have your views of what you thought leadership was changed in any way so far? If so How?
3. Can you relate a time when you were put in a leadership position. What was it? How do you feel you did in this position? Is there anything you regret? What would you do differently?
4. Following up from the question above, citing particular quotes or passages from the book, write about something you can use that the author said or did when you are put in leadership role now or in the future.
1) Not a lot has changed in my book since the last post, the book is still talking about this man, Billy and his life. There's not really anything for me to agree with or disagree with in the book right now. At the very end of the chapter Billy finds the note on his car, that tells him he has to decide to save a young school teacher or an elderly women involved in charity work. At first he doesn't take the note seriously and i think i would probably do the same, i wouldn't know what to think about it. I stopped at that point so I'm eager to find out what happens next.
2) My views on leadership haven't changed yet because not a whole lot has happened in the book yet. But based on the note he found, he's going to be a leader because he has to make a very critical decision.
3) I have never been in a leadership position as serious as this one. In soccer sometimes i have to decide between treating someone like a friend and let their mistakes go or telling them what they are doing wrong and possibly start a conflict. I decided to talk to my teammate by giving them little suggestions rather then just confronting them all at once and possibly hurting their feelings. I don't regret this decision because it helped resolve the problem and prevent other conflicts between my other teammates in the future.
4) So far there haven't been any quotes that show leadership yet, just the fact that Billy has to make this critical decision.

I really like your answer to number three because I can agree a lot to it. I think that you made a very good choice in what you did and that might help me out in further circumstances:)
ReplyDeletehaha cara i like what you said you number 3 cause it's sweet. i get what you're saying though sometimes i don't make the right decision when im frustrated. But other times, as you experienced, i yell just so people can hear me but I'm not meaning to be mean :)
