The first step in the right direction




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.”
