Part 2 Sarah I

understanding your self:
In order to be a good leader you need to understand your self. Your weakness and your straights. You are the teacher of your self. Accept you responsibility and don't blame others for your actions. reflect on your own experiences. Being a human being is a talent and and know what you are good at and expand on those talents. Each person's talents are unique and have room to grow. Your self-esteem will grow and you will succeed in what ever you put your mind to. How you feel about your self fuels your motivation. A good leader and a good person is trustworthy, treats others with respect, is responsible, fair, caring, and is a good citizen. Leadership is accomplishing something or changing something.

Understanding others:
Men and women tend to hold different attributes for their success and failures. Women- external factors like luck and being at the right place at the right time. They blame their failures on their skills and not being prepared. In order to respect and understand others you need to understand their diversity and culture. So you can act appropriately and not offend them on the way you act. You will understand them as a person and become more aware of their beliefs and customs. Get to know them as a person and undestand them as a unique individual. Communicate with others who you work with or just see walking down the street. Communicate is the tool to success in all aspects of life. In order to understand people you have to be a good communicator. Work together as a team and not individuals in a group.

leading with Integrity and Moral purpose:
Accomplisher will be awarded for their success and non accomplishers will not be rewarded. To be a good leader you can't not be the beast and tell people what to do but ask people to help you. Don't show your ego no matter how big it gets. Make the decision that what you are doing is the good of the people and not to benefit yourself. Hold yourself accountable for your actions and behave you self when you are in front of others. when you are with others keep a positive environment and show others that you can be a good role model and a leader. It takes courage to do the right thing. It is your body and mind and values that makes a person a good leader. Ethics is the heart of leadership and value driven. Without your values and beliefs you can't be a good leader. You have to understand and be able to communicate with others. Keep positive about what you are saying and doing. Remember your actions are your fault and no others.
I really understand what part 2 was saying and I couldn't put the book down until I was finished. It made a lot of sense on how to be a good leader and remember how to act as a good leader.
