My notes from Spring 2011 Pepperdine GSMB orientation

Mission to create "Values-Centered Leaders".

"Leadership = is ultimately about creating a way for people to contribute to making something extraordinary happen", Keith 2002

#1 world wide value in a leader is honesty.

"Becoming a leader is synonymous with becoming yourself.  It's precisely that simple, and it is also that difficult", William Bennis

"Gain influence is to gain relationship."

"Who could I be if I were at my very best as a leader?"

Intentionally........ask yourself:
"What will be my destiny?  Then live this experience on purpose!"
