Kudos for Lauren for her consistency and her attention to detail! She finishes work early each week and applies the feedback I leave her to her next assignment.
Kudos for Matthew for his awesome explanations! He uses details from his life and the text to answer each question!
Week 9 began Monday and is due Friday. Be sure to review Monday's announcement for more details about each assignment.
Got missing work? Previous weeks remain open. Remember that Weeks 1-8 will close March 5 so use your time wisely if you need to complete missing work.
How much can you learn from bad leaders? According to Samuel Smiles,
"We learn wisdom from failure much more that from success. We discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery."
Many of you did not consider yourself to be a leader until you learned to define leader differently. As a young leader, part of leading is failing. Sometimes that means we fail ourselves and sometimes that means we learn from watching someone else fail.
In today's society we focus on the bad more that we focus on the good. That epidemic was center-stage in the 2016 Presidential election. Pointing out the failures is easy -- failures of the candidates, failures of the politicians in office, failures of the media. If we do not learn from the mistakes, then we will fail. What are the mistakes from this election? I do not mean the differing policy opinions...I mean the leadership mistakes. What can we learn about moving forward from this election? Keep in mind that continuing to bad mouth a person or an idea is not moving forward...it is actually moving backward.
