Kirk Weisler on Leadership

Overall I found that Mr. Weisler provided some valuable points on leadership. A lot of the ideas that he portrayed to us were many concepts that we have discussed in class and through assignments. He suggested that as leaders we continue to grow and the importance of always reading. I thought this was significant and also very true. In order to stay current, allow growth, and continue learning leaders definitely need to read. I think this is one area that many people struggle with due to busy schedules.

He also discussed the need to be enthusiastic and have a contagious mood. This was a unique point because it is very true. If you have a negative attitude for the day, this attitude can definitely influence other people's moods. So as a leader it is important to have a positive mood and be enthusiastic because in return your followers will implement these attitudes.

  1. This is very true; however, I think Kirk brought many more valuable lessons up that you could have expanded on! He had amazing advice and tons of inspirational stories and quotes that could have been discussed.

    "Stop trying to be perfect and start being remarkable!"

    "We all have the ability to leave people in a better state than when we found them"

    "1st class mindset, 1st class life set"

    "Never end the state of becoming"

    "Be contagious!"

    "Inspire, not require"


    These are just a few of the quotes that stuck out during his presentation. He did a wonderful job of engaging the group for that long of a time. He is the type of individual we all should strive to be like. Leadership is a growing process that we can continually better ourselves on a daily basis.
