"INFINITE LEADERSHIP/PARENTING"Within each of us!!!
I like the follow-up true story about how the boys from Australia who may have read the book and learned to operate differently. Their 15-month ordeal on their deserted island started with an agreement not to argue. I like finding such inspiration as I take on the responsibility of “Infinite Parenting”.
The definition of “Infinite” vs “finite” come from SIMON SINEK who applies it to leadership in business situations. In some of his talks he suggests leadership and parenting are similar. Finite refers to leading a team with the goal of winning. Infinite refers to leadership where the project or business continues beyond the wins.
One of my counseling goals is from what I learned when I helped start the Suzuki Method of Talent Education. Starting music with a toddler requires a “teacher", the “parent" also learning how to teach the practice and the “child". I suggest “ADULT” means I take care of the “child” within myself by being my own good “parent”, who seeks and finds MY “mentors” such as understanding THE LORD OF FLIES.
Our stories as Americans with Japanese Heritage values will be influential when the JCCCW is part of the Seattle Public Tour 100 years from now.
