"Set a personal example with visible, memorable symbols and behaviors."
In this part, the author stressed the importance of talking in a big audience. It is much comfortable to speak in a small group than speak in a big group. As a leader, how to perform in that case is important. Also, to perform in a big community, some symbolic actions are good for achieving it. Talking about Shackleton, he threw their gold watches and other precious things, which indicated that he is really trying to face and overcome the difficulties they are in. Shackleton used it well as a symbolic action as a leader.
What is your equivalent of throwing gold sovereigns into the snow?
I haven't done a big action like Shackleton, but I always tried to come the first in each practice of our club activities in high school. And I tried to let kouhais follow what I did. I do not know if it is a symbolic things, but I guess it's the same in that Shackleton showed other crews to be motivated with the on-going situation.

First strategy of leadership
"Never lose sight of the ultimate goal, and focus energy on short-term objectives."
In this part, it is said that short-term objectives was improtant when Shackleton and others were in a conflict. Also, the author says that assigning something to each crew is important. Therefore, they would be responsible for it and be motivated. I guess it is a kind of "やりがい”in Japanese.
Now our club has a big objective for spring league. It is to stay in the 3rd division. However, it is a bit big and not clear target. To achieve it, we have to set how many times we have to win and on which team we have to win. I think that these are a kind of short-term objectives. If we think more about those, I think the big-scale objective would become much more realsitic.
Thanks for reading.

1st post
It is very difficult to think about the situation I was stretched to my limit. I do not know if this is the correct answer, but I want to write about my experience in my high school.
When I was a high school student, I was a captain of baseball club. Before being a captain, my “senpai” all said that there are no one who is suitable for a captain in our grades. But we had to choose, then I decided to be a leader. I was also anxious about being a captain, but finally I could be a captain being respected by “kouhai” members.
Through my experience, I found that leader has to listen earnestly to other members opinion. Leader should not be a person like a dictator. All one knows that, but sometimes leaders tend to be such a dictator because he or she is the top of the team. What leader should do is to listen to others regardless of their ages and position. For me, I tried to listen to the kouhai’s opinion and tried to make it into practice. From that point, my teammates might regarded me that I was suitable for a captain. So that is what I learned as a leader.
