Tonight as I sat and listened in on an adventure group I realized something...I want to learn. It was quite a revelation for me. I haven't had that genuine desire in a LONG time. Don't get me wrong, I have been motivated by deadlines, the need to impress and as a teacher the needs of my students but I cannot remember the last time I wanted to investigate and learn on my own.
What's on my mind you ask? The Leadership Challenge by Kouzes and Posner and the Johari window.
Leadership is: "The art of mobilizing others to want to struggle for
shared aspirations."--Kouzes and Posner
Hmmm...

I like the qoute.
"struggle for shared aspirations". Nice
is this a good book?
I think that word 'struggle' is what really catch my attention. Generally people want to be on the same page but don't realize that doesn't always come naturally.
I haven't read the book yet but I have taken a "leadership practices inventory(test)" based on the principles in it. We took it during my latest training. At the time I was intrigued...3 months later I see the usefulness of it and I want to read the book.
