Journal 3 – 9/20/08

So just a warning, this will be a fairly short journal entry… I am actually in the process of mapping out my values and such, which will be posted when complete… until then… here are a few thoughts from last class.

We are confident, determined, and results-oriented people who believe in having responsibility for ourselves and our actions. We are passionate about developing and bringing the value that we have to offer each other and our environment. By understanding who we are, we are able to foster the loyalty, trust and strong relationships that we all value, which in turn will allow us to be open, honest and forthright in our leadership circle. This will allow us to develop not only ourselves but our entire group. As leaders, we will be in a position to give back, leaving every person or place better than how we found them by sharing our knowledge, talents and fortune.
Above is our leadership credo. The implications of our credo is that we are all motivated to succeed. As extremely self motivated individuals there isn’t as great of a need to have phrases to support and reinforce the groups values. What is more important is to challenge each other and make sure that each of us is putting in sufficient time and energy to our leadership journey. We have committed to be completely open and honest with each other, as such, I do not see the need to avoid any certain phrases.

As we transition from a focus on my personal beliefs and values to one of how to lead, I agree that it is a good time to reflect on the insights gained. I have actually been working on such an activity. Unfortunately it is not complete. When it is in a more finished state it will be posted.
