On Monday we had a speech of Mr.Kitashiro who was the manager of IBM. He had quite a few employees below him, and he made success during his job as a leader.
I was surprised to realize that he was very sociable and tatlkative person. From his speech to us, I learned a lot of things.He talked about the tips for the ideal leader, and one of them was "Integrity". This means to behave honestly even when other people are not beside you. This was very unique idea to me and has never come up to me. Leaders have to be honest and have to be confident with his behavior. Maybe we lose confident often as a leader, but we should not lose it and be optimistic as a leader.
Also, he wrote that "be prepared for the meeting." It is very interesting tip. I could not figure out why it is a inportant part for the leader, so I should have asked it.
Overall he talked many things which were common with Shackleton's skills, so I felt that there are lots in common between ideal leaders.
This opportunity was very valuable and I really enjoyed this. Thank you, Mr.Kitashiro and Ken.

Behaving honestly even other people don't looking is sometimes difficult.
but I learned it is worth to do by his speech!
