In the past seven week I have learned a lot, some things I
new but did not clearly understand how it would affect my leadership style.
Other time I was surprise to see how important it was to leadership development.
I started out ruff in this course, but I am moving along fine. I guess the
leadership skill I would counties to use and adapt is lead by example. I truly
never really taught of how the things I would do as a leader would affect
others. As a leader in the army sometime we feel we are entitled to more
because of all we go through for soldiers and the mission. Our job can be 24hr
and a lot of stress. We use to say this is not a job it a life style. Now I do
understand that to become a better leader everything has to be fair across the
board. I should feel I should not feel that I am entitled to more because of
the position I hold. I see how this type of behavior can lead to problems and
resentment in a job environment
“We are incapable of loving another unless we love
ourselves, just as we are incapable of teaching our children self-discipline
unless we ourselves are self-disciplined.
It is actually impossible to forsake our own spiritual development in
favor of someone else’s. We cannot
forsake self-discipline and at the same time be disciplined in our care for
another. We cannot be a source of
strength unless we nurture our own strength.
I believe that not only do self-love and love of others go hand in hand
but that ultimately they are indistinguishable.”
