This week I
learned about leadership. Some of the things that I would like to remember are
the qualities of a true leader. A leader is there with the people he leads to
inspire them, show the way, and help them grow. I read the article ‘’Leaders toManagers: The Fatal Shift’’ by Hugh Nibley that I had read a few years ago
during my mission. I have read many of Hugh Nibley’s articles and I find them
very interesting, however I noticed how Nibley doesn’t seem to be very fond of
business majors and thinks that business owners live off other people’s work. I
don’t agree with that; I believe that entrepreneurship is an essential factor
of production in economics along with labor, land, and capital. Somebody needs
to be capable of taking risks, having a vision, and organizing the other factors
of production, and it must not be the state in my opinion. I do agree with
Nibley’s vision of how a leader should be and I wish to emulate it.
I have
encountered more difficulties with my $100 challenge. Some of the extra
ingredients don’t cost exactly what I thought and I’m having trouble finding
enough clients to match my estimates. I am trying to focus only on what works,
or at least what has less issues and more margin! Talking to the people is also
a challenge for me that I’m trying to overcome.
