Summary
To recap: People are multilayered, can and do experience discomfort when involved in self-examination, and may not view leadership as service to others. People create and live in their own realities. They cling to these realities because they fear their shadow selves and tend not to look for alternatives. But change is possible, with self-understanding and growth.
You can use the ideas and models in this book to make the challenges of self-understanding and growth easier and more effective. We found that being an effective leader is, more than anything else, a learned set of behaviors. For the benefit of present and future generations, let's proceed with that learning now.
