The lessons on leadership we have been studying are beginning to have a profound effect in how I think about everyday events. For example I was just watching a cartoon titled “Barbie: Rapunzel” and I was watching as the “evil mouse king” was yelling at a servant for bringing him bad news. I could her the following in my head:
“Shooting the messenger”
“He is discouraging valuable feedback from taking place in the future; that lack of information in the future can be fatal”
“He is exhibiting some seriously bad dark personality traits. Can’t control his emotions”
It is really interesting to experience the change in myself, where I am so immersed in the leadership subject that I begin to see everything through its lenses. I do plan on continuing to learn about it from different textbooks, its fun!
