This chapter made me think and reflect more about myself. We do not often stop and think about ourselves.; think what we are capable of, and put those strenghts in practice to achieve our goals. Bennis stated that on of the key factors of a leader is knowing himself/herself. In our childhood, we just a reflection of our parents, family, friends and the society around us; but after we start getting older, we make our own choices and, we decide for ourselves. That’s when we become leaders!
People may teach themselves how to be leaders, or they may learn from others. We can learn from other people’s experiences. However, something that I think we cannot learn from others is how to be ourselves. As Bennis states on the chapter, “the more we know about ourselves and our world, the freer we are to achieve everything we are capable of”.
