The Leadership Course

De: Frederick Dodson

Narrado por: Priya Khajuria

This manual summarizes all of the lessons from the Leadership Workshop we have been conducting in the last 10 years. It is easily one of the most powerful manuals on leadership, influence, power and creation of reality available and will teach you:

• A scale of performance by which you can make a precise status-check and find out exactly what the next steps are to higher performance and leadership.
• Instructions and exercises to apply the "Power of Context" in your function as a leader of groups, organizations and people for fantastic benefit of yourself, others and the world at large.
• A procedure to magnify your strengths and identify, admit to and overcome your weaknesses. Power is achieved through maximum authenticity. Getting in touch with reality makes you a master of reality.
• A procedure to maximize your courage to go forward and initiate as well as to "go where it hurts" and tread where nobody has dared tread before. You will never be a leader if you do not learn to leave your comfort zone on a regular basis. These exercises will help you do just that consistently.
• A procedure that will help you develop visions that are bigger than yourself. Follow something bigger than yourself and you will be followed.
• Procedures to build integrity, values, virtues, strength of character and other qualities of great Leadership. In this section you learn how to deal with breaks in integrity, broken agreements, and transgressions, and restore your life energy. Some of the secrets you will learn in this Manual are mind-boggling, yet they will change your life forever. Here is just one of many: Did you know that one of the big secrets of leadership is not self-empowerment but the empowerment-of-others? Now that you read it you might say, "Makes sense!" but countless books and seminars on Leadership teach you just the opposite - namely that "self-empowerment" is the basis of good leadership.

Leadership of Self

I truly enjoyed the book and its references back to Levels of Energy. Sometimes there seem to be too many pauses for you to do exercises but there is value in following the format

This is more for wanna-be leaders

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

this is a better book for people who want to be leaders but are not confident in themselves and need to know how to picture themselves as leaders.

What was most disappointing about Frederick Dodson’s story?

I LOVED Dodson's Parallel Universes of Self, but was disappointed in this. I thought it would be more about bringing out my leadership qualities or removing blocks and/or attracting in people who would make good team members. It was very basic not at all what I expected.

What three words best describe Priya Khajuria’s performance?

nice, pretty accent

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Leadership Course?

I wouldn't cut; I'd either completely change it if this is all it is or, better yet, add more. This was like "intro to leadership 101" and not very helpful for people already in leadership positions.
