Today I would like to do the review of what I have read in the leading at the edge from chapter4 to chapter7.
In chapter 4, Stamina, the importance of taking care of not only other people but also yourself, was stated. I think this was the first time the author mentioned the leader characteristic Shackleton failed to have, which was also interesting to read. It was also stated how important it is to have outlets for our feeling, be it friends, family, or diary. I think these are all we can things we can also apply to our daily lives to relieve our stress, so I found them very helpful.
In chapter 5, The team message, the importance of having shared identity as a team, communicating well, performance evaluation of the followers was emphasized.
In chapter 6, Core team values, it is stated that hierarchical style shold be avoided, and leader should maintain an enviornment where courtsey and mutual respect is conducted. Everyone, including leader himself, should be treated equally. It was also stated that by understandin each individual's talent and assigning work that suits the personal talent, that individual can feel the meaning of his/her existence in a team can become even more productive.
In chapter 7, Conflict, it is stated that conflict is inevitable, but how leaders stay proactive to it and how they handle it is the key element in leading the team successfuly.
So that is it. It seems kind of short for each 15-pages chapter, but I hope it will help grasping the basic content of each chapter. Bye.
