I am not going to lie. When we were asked to read A Leader’s Legacy and blog about it I was a little skeptical about how interesting this book was really going to be. I am honestly really surprised at how easy and enjoyable this book is.
This section had a lot of interesting parts but the part that still has stuck with me is the section titled ‘Passionate Leaders Are Willing to Suffer.’ I can relate this back to my life in so many ways. For example growing up dance has pretty much been my life because I have been dancing since I was four years old. I was so passionate about dance that I was willing to mentally, emotionally, and physically suffer at times to get more out of my dance classes. If you are passionate about anything in life you are going to have be willing to suffer a little but in the end most of the time you are rewarded for what you have done.
Finally, I cannot wait to see what else I am going to gain out of this book. Next section is on relationships which is pretty exciting because everyone can us a refresher on how to improve on relationships and form better ones in the future.
Dancers are definitely passionate and having that instilled in you for leading in the future will definitely help you in your success.
ReplyDeleteThese types of books seem at the outset that they might be dry or boring, but they are teaching and reinforcing things that are important for not only your life at BSU, but the "real world," as well!

I agree that the book is definitely an enjoyable and easy read!
ReplyDeleteI can appreciate your passion for dance; I'm a Theatre major here at BSU and any form of the arts requires dedication and discipline. However whether the suffering is for the arts or for leadership it does seem to have a way of being worth it in the end.
