I was really inspired by the pain response extra credit Professor Feinberg emailed to us yesterday. Reading through each student's story of what causes them pain was very sad, yet touching at the same time. You don't realize that everyone is suffering through some type of pain each and every day. It really makes a person think twice about judging someone because you have no idea what that person is going through in life. My pain story is full of tragedy, but it seems minor compared to what others have battled through.
I believe the leadership lesson to be learned from this activity involves building relationships with your team members. By knowing them on a personal level, a leader is able to better understand why a person thinks or acts the way that they do. A person is able to become a better, more effective leader simply by learning their team's story.
