Leonard really took offence to that comment
– and said that no one is better or worse than anyone else – they are just
different, and that people should
celebrate their differences.
You are not competing with anyone – just striving
for your personal best.
The only person who is better than you is
the person who you are about to become.
Leonard mentioned the analogy of 4 animals in a class being taught to climb a wall ... the monkey and tiger could easily do it... but no matter how hard he tried, the elephant couldnt climb that wall.... does that mean the elephant is worse that the monkey... no, just different!!
We then chatted about the importance of
having a balanced team, and suggested that each member do a Kolby Profile, and
ensure that the team has a balance – or else it will not sustain.
(when I find out more about this – will let
you know)
He talked about Mills view on “Liberty”
where with vigorous and violent collision of opinions do we get to the truth! –
people have different strengths and viewpoints – which should be celebrated ,
respected, vigorously discussed and nurtured.
I am really looking forward to our first
10X Foundations at the end of November!!
