Truth # 1
The seeds are within us all.
Recognize and claim them.

Leadership is no mystery-mastery
Joining with others for a common cause
![Page 7: Leadership Becomes Us - umkc.edu EMBA Day of Learning Gallos openi… · Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation. ... •A learning journey •Find ourselves and](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042810/5f975d939c66061b67773528/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
We’re leading all the time
Not just title, position, rank, or level in the hierarchy
Process of mutual influence
Coming together with others to obtain some common goal

Strategy # 1
Claim your inner leader: if you don’t believe you can lead, who will?
![Page 9: Leadership Becomes Us - umkc.edu EMBA Day of Learning Gallos openi… · Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation. ... •A learning journey •Find ourselves and](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042810/5f975d939c66061b67773528/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Truth # 2
Leadership works when we bring our full self to the task
![Page 10: Leadership Becomes Us - umkc.edu EMBA Day of Learning Gallos openi… · Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation. ... •A learning journey •Find ourselves and](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042810/5f975d939c66061b67773528/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Skill makes for a good manager or mechanic. Passion makes for a good zealot or lover. Soul makes for a good philosopher or saint. Skill + passion + soul make for a good leader.

Finding our true talents • Spontaneous reactions
• How do you respond, for example, when • at a party where you know few people? • faced with incomplete information? • are under a tight deadline? etc.
• Yearnings – our daemon • Clearly expressed talents at an early age
• At 10, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon were holding “project meetings” in the school cafeteria; at 13, Picasso was in art school; at 5, Frank Gehry was building intricate wooden models; by 12, Mozart had composed his first symphony
• Latent or buried talents • Anna Mary Robinson “Grandma” Moses – began painting at 87: 15 one-woman shows
• BEWARE: mis-yearnings: desire for the perks, not the work
• Rapid learning – natural synapses • Matisse, bored and sickly law clerk gift of paints to pass recovery time • Frederick Law Olmstead, restless, few accomplishments by age 30 hedge rows of England
• Deep satisfactions – feeling good while doing something • Takes deep searching – diverse options
