What resonated with you the most?
 The various aspects of each of the stages of the Leadership Circle. Each of these were
distinct and characteristic of their respective stage. Each stage leads to the next, and
moving from the stage you're in to the stage above will help you build an organization
and culture that can better compete in a complex world.
What resonated with you the least?
 Egocentric stage develops when a leader tends to feel insecure about his position and
wants a sense of achievement and respect from his/her subordinates, this can be
addressed by securing his needs & wants.
What are some insights/ learnings for you as a professional that either reinforce or
provide new direction to your leadership style?
 As we develop through the stages of leadership, we will notice that you become
increasingly self-aware. It is also found that your view of the world evolves. The
gradual transformation develops your identity, your values and beliefs, and your
relationships.
 At its most potent, leadership is not about compelling others to fall into line with how
we think. It is about enabling dialogue, remaining open to new ideas, finding
understanding, accommodating differences, and exploring possibilities. Where
conflict exists, it is used as a springboard for transformation.
Where can you apply the learnings/ insight in your life?
 We live in a time of great opportunity and great peril. The next 50 years will be
pivotal. We could either create a new and vital global order of planetary welfare or
destroy ourselves. With their global reach, business leaders play a major role in the
world’s future. The evolution of ever more effective and conscious leaders is not only
a business imperative as complexity escalates, but a global requirement.
