Lightining a Spark
Enrollment is a skill that not everyone can wear. Many times people are so selfish or so egocentric that they don’t give themselves the opportunity to shine in other people’s life. How I would love that many of my colleagues had the opportunity to read this book and consider that the energy that we transmit to others is one of the keys to being successful both in the personal and professional world.
Being the board
I have to admit that I stopped for a moment while reading this chapter. I believe and I know I am a very easy going person but I am also not perfect so when thinking about this practice it reminded me of a recent situation I had a few months ago, I was so easy going that I started to hold in some feelings of discomfort and instead of being the instrument to make my relationship with my coworkers effective, I exploded and everything that I was holding exploded to the point where I ended up being the situation. I was the framework to what happened afterwards, I started feeling negative about my job and I was unhappy because I didn’t really wanted to be around those persons that I did not try to understand because I was trying not to be a problem. Maybe if I read this book at that moment I would have tried harder to be the board of this entire situation.
Creating frameworks for Possibility
Having a vision, a challenge, keeping it and not giving up on it, being persistent and having the courage to face things when they are not turning out the way we want to and being able to change things to make that vision successful is a smart approach to creating a framework for possibility. This attitude is one of the components for being a good leader and for lighting a spark on those who follow you or are guided by you.
Telling the We Story
This approach guides us to be engaged in our relationship with other humans, to see ourselves as a group of people in our work, in our family, and in other areas instead of talking or thinking about ourselves only, is a matter of not considering ourselves as individuals but as a company, a community or a group. It’s kind of not being selfish but to think about the consequences and benefits to other people as well.

Noelia,
It's true that to be a leader you have to know how to engage with people and be invested in their lives. This applies to all types of leadership roles. Just as I have to be engaged with my students as I lead them, I have to likewise be engaged with my family as I lead them. This type of leadership is difficult because you must consider the consequences of your decisons not just for the group but for the individuals as well.
