The chapter 16 was wonderful.
All the strategies and the skills that were on the other chapter gave me information I needed to know, but this chapter was especially so.
The chapter not only brought together the ten core strategies, but it kind of ordered in the importance. In page 216, it says that "in the spirit of Strategy 10 Never give up - with enough creativity and determination, you can accomplish the mission even if your strategy is not perfect". This message encourages a lot for me because I personally think that I'm not actually talented as a leader or I don't know much skills or techniques to manage as a leader in groups, but I have experiences. One thing I can declare now is that I will definitely be experiencing more as a leader in groups in the close and far future and that fact won't change no matter what happens in my leadership life. The quote hit me really much because I think that I can cultivate the "creativity and determination" by having many experiences and can overcome the importance of strategies and skills. However, first I have to admit that I am incompetent and ignorance to lead many teams nor experience the teamwork. So that is why I have to cultivate poised incompetence. As the author ends at the last of this section, accepting one's incompetence,
also means that one is having desire to improve and raise one's ability. I all ways think this is the most important : 向上心 in Japanese.
