360 Leader by John C. Maxwell is a book that I will refer to in the future to re-analyze my life and to see where I am. The material was difficult to understand and absorb at first, but as I read it slowly, a picture started to emerge. I found the myths very interesting. Each myth focused on a different area of my life where I need to improve.
The position Myth: no title required, just influence
The Destination Myth – Learn as much as possible now
Experience the Influence Myth yourself
The Freedom Myth: More respect
The Myth of Potential: Strive for your potential
The All or Nothing Myth: How to improve your leadership and organization

I want to create change and be the person who challenges a situation in order to try to improve it.

“Feedback Breakfast of Champions”
Jimmy Collin, President of CFA and Creative Followership:
A leader who is serious about being a great leader, or one who is looking to be successful in their leadership role, must follow a leader over a certain period of time. This book discusses when a president takes on the role of a leader and follows through. The book is divided into two sections. The first section is the Philosophy of Followership. The second part is the Principles of Followership. While reading these sections, I was taken on an adventure through Kimmy Collins’ life and learned that Leadership cannot be taught. I was also able to understand that a leader will know he is a good leader when he has followers. When you want to be a good leader, the Followership Principles will help. To be a leader, you need patience, trial and error. Collins looked up Mr. Truett as an executive leader, and he followed. I learned how to apply feedback and input to my strengths so that I could grow and become a better individual. I can accept responsibility and develop myself. This book has allowed me to open my eyes and allow me to not only lead but also follow.

These two acronyms really sum up what it means to be a leader with a heart. It was great to be able to connect with leaders and mentors. In the last couple of months, I have developed a small circle of people to whom I can ask for support and/or help. Everybody needs a good system of support.
