I haven’t really gotten far enough into the book to judge my true opinion about it yet. I haven’t read so much about leadership but rather the impact certain fads go through. Like how the affect of one famous person wearing an ugly old sweater can make it instantly popular.

My views of what I thought leadership was haven’t been changed at all. I see leadership every day and know enough about it to spot one in practically any situation. This book has done nothing to alter my opinion of that, at least not yet.

When I was younger, I believe it was 8^th grade, we had an awards ceremony wrapping up our accomplishments at the end of the year. One of the awards was voted on by our classmates and though I don’t remember the exact title, it had something to do with being a positive leader. I had never seen myself as a leader, in fact I never really wanted to be one. I figured it would be easier to be seen as a follower so I didn’t have to worry about the choices I was making affecting others. Since that award I have truly grown to accept my position as someone people look up to. As stupid as it sounds I was honored to be the chosen one of the many.

“little changes can somehow have big affects.” (pg. 10) This is true in all situations. Sometimes the smallest of mistakes or decisions can be what causes an entire company to shut down or a life to be saved.
