Of the practices mentioned by Kouzes & Posner I chose the action of being a great learner. Chapter 12 discusses the idea that the best leaders are the best learners. I have seen and already put this into action in my years of retail work. I was taught to never think you know too much. There is always room to learn and by doing so, I have been able to help inspire and lead my peers.
The other action I will focus on is to be humble. When I have peers or students who are helping with a project or task, I will make it a point to recognize their participation. If my peers help me learn something new or correct something I thought was correct, it will serve as a humbling experience. It is not done in spite, but to help me.
These are the types of actions I wish to impart on the students I interact with as well. These actions go a long way to make an individual stronger and better at leading. Not only in school and work, but also in life as one comes across new obstacles.
