KLM Part 2
I enjoyed this part of the book (much like the others in my group!) This part talked about how you shape your own personal identity. It made the reader think about their motivations. It is weird because this ties into all of our speakers and most of our interview stories. They all wanted to express to us how important it is for us to discover what we are passionate about, what motivates us. This class, along with my other leadership class is helping me to understand that working needs to be centered around what I love and what I stand for, not around money and fame. The things that I am passionate about have spurred from my values and upbringing...which is also mentioned in the text when talking about how you develop your character. I think that with out the set of morals and values that I have developed I would definitely not be the same person. I definitely think that knowing your self is very important to developing your own style of leadership- with out knowing what your strengths and weaknesses are you aren't able to fill a team of people that work well with each other. I liked that the book pointed out that women aren't the only ones that can be nurturing towards their children- I don't understand why it is hard for society and men to understand that. Just because a woman has the child that doesn't mean that she has to be the sole provider for that child.. men should learn to help... That's all for now!

I love how this class and our other leadership class stress the importance of surrounding yourself with people whose strengths complement yours and fill in the gaps where your weaknesses are. This is so crucial. Looking back on previous group experiences, I can see where that wasn't happening and the tremendous impact that it had on our success as a group. The people in our group may have been strong as individuals, but as a group we just weren't meshing because we all had strengths and weaknesses in the same areas which eventually pulled us down.
