Reflection from Thursday's Speaker

Leaders can get caught up a lot when they start thinking about failure. Some people don't like to accept the fact that they are going to mess up at some point. Everyone makes mistakes...it is bound to happen. But I think what makes a good leader is how you rebound from those mistakes. You can't let it get to you. Just find a solution and get on it!
"Pride left unchecked can destroy a person." I think this is saying that if you are a person who has a lot of pride, then you need to make sure you aren't thinking too highly of yourself. Leaders need to realize it takes a lot of effort from everyone, not just the leader, to accomplish the goal. Leadership begins in the dark when no one can see. It is the little things you do in everyday life that no ones sees that really counts.
A leader has to have character. If you don't have character you aren't going to be driven anywhere. I think a leader's character motivates you as a leader. "Character driven leaders make more of an impact in the world than those who just lead!
