Good Morning,
Today I want you to write about:
1. Your reactions to what you have read so far since last time you posted. Have any of your thoughts about the book changed? What has stood out so far? What do you agree/disagree with?

2. Have your views of what you thought leadership was changed in any way so far? If so How?

3. Can you relate a time when you were put in a leadership position. What was it? How do you feel you did in this position? Is there anything you regret? What would you do differently?

4. Following up from the question above, citing particular quotes or passages from the book, write about something you can use that the author said or did when you are put in leadership role now or in the future.



1. The 3rd chapter surprised because even if it was written 500 years ago it is still true. It is about the new kings that buy or conquer a new region. It says that if the region has different customs and language for the king's one everything will be harder. The king won't have an easy period, because he need to convince his people. It probably involves violence to scare the people. Then it says that a very easy way is if the king move in the new region: 1st he will get used to costumes and everything soon, 2nd the new people will think he cares more about them, and 3rd the region will be more protected by outsider. I agree with the author and I'm really surprised because everything was written a long time ago.

2. No my view of leadership is not changed.

3. I can't think about anything on me, but something that happened to my dad can be related to this. He works for a multinational company since 10 years ago. He had always work in Italy until 2 years ago. They started to propose him offers of promotion and everything, but the condition that they really wanted was that he moved for a period to the U.S.A. The company's origin is American, and no one non-American has ever been in his position. They want him to stay here for a short period to get used to the American mentality and their attitudes. Then hopefully they will move him back to Europe with a bigger assignment, having done the American experience.

4. The thing that can be related to my dad's experience is when the author talks about the advantages of moving to the new region conquered by a king.
