1. Does power, as Lord Byron suggests (Hughes et al., ch. 4), tend to "corrupt" the power holder? If so, what are some of the ways it happens? Is it possible subordinates are corrupted by a superior's power? How? Or is it even possible that supervisors can be corrupted by a subordinate's power?
2. Is leadership just another word for influence? Can you think of some examples of influences that you would not consider leadership (Hughes et al., ch. 5)?
3. Take 15 minutes to simply reflect on your past and take another 15 minutes to reflect on your future. What is your vision for your own future in 10 words (10 words is a maximum. This is a difficult exercise.)?
4. How can you create a climate in which people are willing to accept the mistakes that are unavoidable and necessary to breakthrough learning (Kouzes & Posner, ch. 5)?
