A LEADERSHIP PRACTICE: CONNECTING 1. Individually, think of a person that you like – someone close or somewhat close to you. Write down in what ways you are just like that person? 2. Then, think of a person that is quite different from you – someone in your environment, someone you could actually interact with – could be a colleague, your boss, the beggar at the street corner. Write down in what ways you are just like that person? 3. In groups of two, discuss what: You are you learning from this exercise? You are learning about yourself and, How you will use this learning in the workplace?

Sharing our learning… What insights did you get from the exercises? What did you learn about yourself? Are you sure? How will you apply it to the workplace?
