Leadership Lessons from Lord of the Rings
There is a wealth of leadership lessons from this Slideshare Presentation by Joe Tye. Can you remember, own some of them - Who will be your model: Frodo, Gandolf, Elrond, Theoden, Gandolf
Leadership subject at AGSB is an Ateneo advantage. It emphasizes leadership from within, authentic leadership. One of its pillars is love. This is odd in a cold steely corporate world. The others are heroism, ingenuity and self awareness. The goal of leadership is not only to develop oneself but to clone other leaders. Everybody has potential to be leader. What we do, even if we do not have followers influences/affects others. It is time to define Filipino leadership too
I can model with Denethor where the most profound duty of the leader is to inspire hope during the darkest times and that responsibility begins with the leader constantly rekindling thei own hope
