Poet and Writer George Bernard once said, "Reasonable people adapt themselves to the world. Unreasonable people attempt to adapt the world to themselves. All progress, therefore, depends on unreasonable people."
What's impressive about this quote is that this influential writer lived 100 years ago! How true this principle still remains for us today!
Leadership not only involves influencing and motivating people to achieve a goal for the success of the team but it also involves personal change. Change for the 21st Century involves adapting to changing environments. Learning is changing. Technology is changing. Communication is changing. Therefore, we as leaders must change as well!
As leaders we need to be able to adapt. Our information-aged society is quickly and constantly changing. Leaders need to be able to communicate effectively in the information-technology age and maintain effective influence through our character and leadership.
Consider the thought-provoking video in commenting twice on this blog:
First, discuss what truth "impacted" you the most?
Second, discuss what values do we need to develop to be successful leaders in the 21st Century?
