Our Discussion Group's focus in June - 'Leadership'

27/6/2023

0 Comments

 
​July’s discussion group was well attended. The meeting room at Ruby Blue continues to meet our needs nicely – warm, private, and great coffee/tea. A couple of members are on “escape to warmer climes” trips. We wish them loads of fun and we look forward to their return.

 “Leadership” was our focus this month and we discussed:
  • Who do you admire as a leader, and why?
  • How do you decide to follow a leader?
  • What leadership qualities would get your vote at an election?
  • Can anyone be a leader?
  • Is it necessary for a leader to be likeable?
  • Do you, have you ever, view(ed) yourself as a leader and why?
 
The following TED talks address “Leadership” in different ways, and each TED talk invites us to “step-up”. The italicized text is my “take-home” message for each. I hope you find them inspiring, enlightening and encouraging.
 
Everyday Leadership – The lollipop moment/kindness/incidental leadership.
​Collaborative Leadership – We need radical interdependence/when you see problems you can’t unsee them.
​The crisis of leadership -- and a new way forward – (Mis)trust in leadership/ courageous leadership/ our accountability.
Each TED Talk builds on the notion that we are all leaders, sometimes in ways we are not aware of, and that every act of leadership matters. Your thoughts?
