Dear Taichung Happiers,

How poetic this art of leadership is! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_cbnBak8RI

Are you truly a leader or a follower, while working with kids? Will you enjoy and endorse this kind of “Servant Leadership”? Why should we talk about leadership? Award-winning author and strategic advisor Randy Pennington firmly believes everyone can be a leader. "Leadership is a matter of performance not position. The person who sets a good example in your office is a leader. So is the father who proudly watches his daughter sell Girl Scout cookies …… The best leaders help you move from where you are to where you need to be.” Yes, everyone can be a leader--besides, a great leader follows. A great leader follows the best version of himself/herself; a great leader follows the voice from the followers’ hearts; a great leader follows the party of integrity. Ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, this discussion will be more than delightful, so, welcome to join our host Micro in cultivating more curiosity about the traits of a great leader.

“Magic Carpet” (by Shel Silverstein)

You have a magic carpet
That will whiz you through the air,
To Spain or Maine or Africa
If you just tell it where.
So will you let it take you
Where you've never been before,
Or will you buy some drapes to match
And use it
On your
Floor?

A lionized leader sincerely shares the magic carpet of visionary viewings. Vision is vision is vision. Lion, lion, what do you see? A great leader sees the sentiments for mutual trust. In the film The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, the followers have a strong respect for the security the lion serves. Together, the lion and the followers can focus attention on the future. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWKj41HZBzM A great leader encourages our entrepreneurial thinking, the cornerstone of continual career advancement and well-being, for the cocktail of growth mindset and greater values--should command the campaign champagne comprehendingly and add the ice cube of awakening and the strawberry of responsibility. http://www.businessinsider.com/how-entrepreneurs-think-differently-2014-8 Seth Godin, an American author and entrepreneur, lectures in leadership with simple yet steadfast wisdom: “The secret of leadership is simple: Do what you believe in. Paint a picture of the future.” A great leader emboldens us to implement improvisations with confidence—to immediately react to the constantly changing contexts. Despite that a great leader is much misunderstood, the confidence in the goals is like a lamplighter’s love shining along the way. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mgSRnLcoSyE

A lionized leader sincerely shares the magic carpet of inspiration. The 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan (February 6, 1911 – June 5, 2004) portraits the role of inspiration: “When you can't make them see the light, make them feel the heat.” Yes. This “Mr. Read it, Read it” is such a leader, who makes his students in need feel their passion for learning is like our deep love for food. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvEXqy4QFzE&app=desktop Incredible leadership inspires enthusiasm. Whatever level of leadership you are performing, there are various gaps everywhere. An admirable leader can award the vision of the art for people to connect together in harmony. The Symphony conductor Itay Talgam is waving his magic wand to light up our leadership: To lead, don’t close the gaps--embrace the gaps--listen to each other in their own language. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm8cASg_CQo Incredible leadership inspires authenticity. Leaders cannot sustain success without authentic integrity, and it inspires their followers to be themselves, to be open to the gaps. Incredible leadership inspires team work, the strong bond between personal and organizational values. Everyone can learn to be a leader, and THE LION KING teaches more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNZzNcdqJTM

A lionized leader sincerely shares the magic carpet of kindness and creation. In the book Greater Than Yourself, the authors Steve Farber and Matthew Kelly lay out thoughts on the leverage of learning leadership. “Real leadership, in other words, is an extreme act rooted in love and motivated by a desire to create a better world--whether it's the world of your company, team, neighborhood, or family.” Nothing can inhibit your leadership as incomparably as the biggest lemon, your inner fears. To make lemonade, creative thinking and empathetic thinking can be your thumb and index finger to squeeeeeze the lemons. Hummm……., if the lion has a new friend named The Pink Panther, creativity and humor can conquer the complete fears. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zjvIdnZ78Y And, what will be the three words for you to summarize the story The Lion King? How can these three words inspire you to connect and create more? What’s the implication of this influence? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SN7wO06Yz1E All right, relax, please. Remember the film Invictus? The flavor of this film lingering longer in my mind is from the pie of kindness and optimism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR6hSZe_WH8 Oh, what taste of leadership can be more tempting than this?

What is leadership but another name of the connection with more people, more cultures, and more opportunities to achieve greatness? Our purpose to join Happy English Club happens to be this connection, doesn’t it? Therefore, conduct us, please. You, every single member, can conduct us with the magic carpet of vision, inspiration, and creation. That’s what we like. Welcome to fly high with us. Join us. Thanks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnEYYcj2M-Y




With Gratitude,
Jasmine
