Oprah quoted the notorious MLK while giving a very inspirational speech during a short clip we watched today in CSR 309. Oprah was commenting on her ability to be a powerful woman and inspirational leader throughout this segment. Her words were very memorable. She stated that being a leader isn't about having power, and it definitely isn't about being a celebrity. Leadership is about doing the things you were put on this Earth to do. Serving people less fortunate than yourself and caring for others in a way you would want to be cared for. I will definitely take Oprah's motivating words with me as I begin to develop my own leadership attributes and styles.
Professor Feinberg discussed leadership while introducing the class today. He says that leadership not only makes a difference; leadership makes THE difference. There are 2 major themes involving leadership. The first is leading others, the second is leading self. Professor Feinberg stated that we will be discussing both of these themes throughout the semester. He also explained how he is demonstrating how to be a poor leader and a poor CEO until he is given a reason to be a good leader.
