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.
Hi Naohiko,
返信削除Thank you so much for both creating your blog and for being one of the first to post.
Yes, listening to others is key. We'll learn that this is what Shackleton did; it was one of his keys to success.
Thanks for offering such a valuable insight.
