Dear Friends:
I respectfully submit some questions for your consideration and response via comment to this Group. Answer honestly, without regard for what you think the conventionally appropriate answers may be:
1. Would you rather be loved or feared? Why?
2. Would you rather have a singular extraordinary talent (without any other competencies beyond the minimal), or be "fairly good" at a large number of things? Why?
3. Would you rather have fame or fortune? Why?
4. Would you rather be the most valued participant on a team, or would you rather be a participant on the most valued, successful team? Why?
5. Would you rather serve a decisive leader, or a leader who decides by consensus or committee? Why?
6. Would you rather face your life friendless, anonymous and constantly on the run, or serve a two-year prison sentence? Why?
7. Would you rather try to outrun an expert gunman, or attempt to disarm him? Why?
Your life is filled with difficult choices, and constant attempts to achieve compromise, balance and a sense of reason.
What would you choose in each of the foregoing "hard choice" scenarios, if you could not mitigate, hedge, negotiate, alter terms, propose an alternative or negotiate at all?
Think about each question carefully. Think about the answers you would choose. Do you find that you are learning about yourself by this exercise?
An observation: Leadership begins with deep self-knowledge.
Please let us know your answers by clicking on the COMMENT ON THIS ARTICLE button below. Your answers can be anonymous if you choose.
Faithfully,
Douglas Castle
