Think about a Great Leader
• In your mind picture a leader who you think of as the ideal leader
• Share with your neighbors who that leader is and why you think that person is the ideal
• Create a picture in your mind of the leader you selected
Think about Your Self as a Leader
• What is keeping you from being a leader like the one you thought of?
• Write down these barriers on the yellow sticky paper given to you
• Now create an image of yourself as a leader in your mind
One Kind of Road Block
• What we believe about leaders and about ourselves is one potential limitation
• Learning to think like a leader is not as useful if we do not believe we can be a leader
• By letting go of our own limitations we can begin to constructively change our thinking
• The world is made up of two types of people…
• Those who think that the world can be divided into two types of people, and those who don’t
Human Development
• From the moment we are born our minds create a sequence of increasingly complex, connected, and subtle maps of how the world works
• The growth of the mind and heart can be clearly observed in children
