On Becoming a Leader Reaction Pages 185-End

The last two chapters I did not care for because I felt it was all about politics and less about leadership. Bennis revised this, for the first time, since 2002, and I can tell, he wasn't a Bush fan and is completely against the war. I'm not into politics, so I'm not going to lie, the last chapter was extremely boring for me.

All in all, I didn't care for Bennis's book, instead, I prefer the tiny book! My philosophy on leadership does not have political idols. I feel as if people shy away from politics because they feel they cannot trust politicians....I really don't either to be honest. What I do trust, and have faith in, is the sports idols that lead teams. I can wrap my head around ideas and challenges that they have I can relate to, and better understand.

In my opinion, there are people that are light hearted, and people who are heavy. Heavy people doesn't refer to their weight, but rather how they think, and what they think about. I don't like bad news, so I avoid it as best as I can. Thats why I'm a sports guy, and other light hearted subjects. When Bennis talks politics, it just doesn't interest me. Plus, one thing that I hate, is hidden agenda's and people pushing their beliefs on others, and I think Bennis has done that successfully in a few of these chapters.
