The True Leadership

The Blind Square exercise helps me shape and understand some principles, models and values regarding to leadership. Through the exercise, we all worked together to solve the puzzle. By doing so, we learned a little bit about others’ talents and personalities so that we can manage each others’ ability to achieve our final goal and vision. Some of us, not all of us, were full of passion to work closely with followers, colleagues, and leaders. This kind of attitude is essential for exemplary leaders to demonstrate and set up good models for all of us to follow. Also, from the exercise, we can taste different experiences when playing different roles. Of course, there were some frustrations involved during the game. Some people decided to fail the mission miserably while some decided to keep motivating and providing others with the vision. But, is not it the most fun part of the game? Leaders, in their daily lives, should always be prepared to face all different kinds of challenges and acquire an open mind to learn through every tasks and missions no matter how bad they failed it. Everyone has his own core values, if you take this exercise serious enough or view it at different angles and apply all the principles you learned from classes, textbooks, and daily life, you might receive some priceless experiences which would help you toward true leadership.
