- For good, for better or for worse, we live in a world today where people are very distracted and they have short attention spans. Therefore, giving them information in consumable formats is always a good thing, particularly when you looking for the impact. What do you mean by leadership beginning in youth?
- People’s concept of leadership always tends to be focused on developing other people but not so much on the development of self. What is the meaning of leadership development of self?
- Self-reflection is the pathway to self-awareness. What happened with the self-aware leader that you don’t see in other people?
We live in a strange world today which is so fast-paced and distracting. We all have been bombarded with technology, smart devices and more. Talking a step back to do self-reflection is tough nowadays but almost more critical than ever.
Today, people are so worked up; someone’s uneven behavior can have impacts on the ones surrounding him or her and it makes a big difference. Try to have the greatest impact on others, and then the world can be a better place to live in.
It is a very powerful point i.e. to face the people who influenced us the most whether it’s our parents or any of those other people. Yes, it’s important what they say but it is also important what they do.
Eddie Turner on his book ‘140 Simple Messages to Guide Emerging Leaders’:
Leadership is one of the world’s oldest professions. There are countless resources for one to learn about leadership and do an in-depth study. In this book, my goal is not to provide a scholarly tome, but rather to provide emerging leaders simple messages for guidance and success. I do this through 140 simple messages that have helped me navigate life.
