Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Loved the whakatauki associated with each “lesson” and found it truly refreshing to read of the skills and values that transcend industry and context.
A colloquial kaupapa of our school is that we are trying to “grow good humans”. The idea of “good All Blacks making good people”, aligns with what we are trying to achieve for our community.
The idea of leaders within a community coming from a variety of places, e.g coaches, management, senior team members, members with different/unique strengths, also really resonated with the culture of our school.
I’m about to pass the book on to a colleague who is an emerging leader; just hope she doesn’t mind how much of the book I have covered in highlighter!
29/2: I’ve downloaded this as an audio which has been quite satisfying and making notes as I go. Does True Excellence begin with Humility? A thought I keep in my head now as I go through my day and what it means for me…….
