All good things have to come to an end

This is the last day for blogging for the year. We also had our last Genesis workshop yesterday with Stuart and he talked mainly about Transformational leadership. I really enjoyed this session. He discussed the three evolutions of Transformational leadership.

1^st Evolution: highly capable individual

This is about being a proactive person instead of being reactive. A highly capable individual is lives by design not by default, is self-driven and have an abundance mentality (having positive mindset). This is the individual who lives in quadrant 2.

2^nd Evolution: The Master Manager

Mater Manger is a manager is people-oriented and is good at managing paradox. He/she understand power dynamic, organizational culture and structure.

3^rd Evolution: Transformational leader

This is the type of a leader who can “take mismatched group of tired heroes and forge them into a team capable of achieving success and sustaining it in the face of overwhelming odds”.

For the entire duration of this course, this is the type of leaders we are aspiring to become. This course had provided us with all the necessary tools and skills to become that leader and now it’s up to us to apply them when we leave this course.

“Don’t be transactional…. be transformational”

Some pictures we didn't share from last week.
