Ch1, Vision and Quick Victories

Reading this Chapter 1, I felt what is important is to set not only long-goal but short-goal. Also, we should overcome these short-goals little by little, which causes achievement of long-goal. I was impressed and think of below sentences as key ones,

  As a leader, you need to be willing to shiht both long-and short-term goals without clinging to the   past. Additionally, you must be able to commit to these new goals with as much passion and energy as you died to the original mark.   (Page16)

 


From my experience, setting of goals in each a month is the best way of durability of motivation. People often tend to become lazy despite of hopeful goal and motivation. it is difficult for normal people to keep motivative and go on continuos efforts. Therefore, by setting short-term goals, being motivative is important.



I actually have some goals about tennis, study and so on. I feel I should allocate my time on each goal effectivly. I think that is very important through whole life. We have to think about in concession which I should throw away, and otherwise what I have to do. Additionally, just do it.

What I learned from Preface

We started reading the RW textbook, LEADING AT THE EDGE.

At first, I am skeptical about the textbook as leader's guidebook because I have heard so many these kind of books about leadership in the world. However, these books tended to say something unrealistic and impossible so I dishonest them.


But "LEADING AT THE EDGE"  is based on the non-fiction event actually happend, Shacleton's miracle survival. Also, I was very impressed this Preface. It includes why auther wrote this book, what is the purpose and summary of each chapter. What a easy preface to understand!!


Therefore, I expect that this book will tell me what real leadership is and how we should feedback on practical events. That is why I decide to read activly and critically.
