THREE THEMESAs I continued my research on Leadership THREE themes began to emerge. Leaders are misfitsThey all face some form of adversityLeadership can be learnedHere let me show you what I mean:First the misfits…..On the subject of adversity, many leaders have been tested by either facing hard times or been written off before experiencing greatness….for example:She was dismissed from drama school with a note that read “wasting her time, she’s too shy to put her best foot forward……..
They were turned down by the Decca recording company who said “we don’t like their sound” and guitar music is on the way out….
He was cut from his high school basketball team he went home, locked himself in his room, and cried….
He was fired from a newspaper because he lacked imagination and had no original ideas
And my favorite:His fiancé died, he failed in business twice, he had a nervous breakdown, and he was defeated in 8 elections..
