Part 2 Relationships

Leadership is personal; being a leader comes from everything you are. What you stand for, your quirks, your habits, and things that make you smile. Your leadership comes from you and all you have been through, that awkward moment you’ll never forget, the time you felt you truly made a difference, the things that shaped your life are the things that make you a leader. Although leadership is about working with others the only person you can depend on is yourself. You have to strive to trust the people you work with but there will always be people who you don’t get along with. With that being said everyone wants to be liked and trusted and these go hand in hand, you are more likely to trust someone you like. No one would ever go to the ends of the earth for someone they didn’t like. So this chapter focused a lot on building trust with the people you are working with but it also brought up a point that I really liked it mentioned that history shows us that people want to be free and they want to choose their own destiny. So overall what I took from this chapter is you can’t make someone like you, but as a leader you can only hope that through freedom people come to trust you.
