Post 1:
Why would anyone follow you? By Barry Posner. “Why credibility is the foundation of leadership.” Throughout this video, there are many good questions that the speaker poses, and I found myself trying to answer those questions myself before the speaker revealed what he believes to be the answers to the question of what it means to be a good leader. The first thing I did was to think of every possible question and then started asking myself and making some connections, and eventually found the answers to the questions I had asked myself. Following someone is often a sign that they can rely on them, they can trust them, and they also feel safe with that person. Barry mentioned so many things that made me think of the relationship that I have with my older sister. I’ve always looked up to my sister, whom I consider to be my role model, and she has always been the leader of my siblings. Every time I have a problem, I turn to her for help. She is one of the only people I trust to tell me to do stuff I am afraid of doing even though it may scare me. It also makes me feel safe when she asks me to do something because I know that as a result of it, I will be able to achieve the results I want. There are four characteristics that I have also taken away from the video, and they are honesty, trustworthiness, credibility, and having a personal point of view is also one of them. My sister is one of those leaders who acts and does what she says. That’s one of the reasons that those examples made me think of her.
