The most important lessons in life aren’t always taught in the classroom, and today proved to be an example of learning outside the classroom during this weekend attending the Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT) conference. This is our last meeting of the year-long program where MLT develops minority students to adjust to everyday rigor of working in corporate America. One of the workshops was the idea of SWAG and how the greatest leaders/innovaters were ones with swag; be it the self-appointed king of rap Jay-Z and his proclaimed heir Lil’ Wayne, Warren Buffet, Abraham Lincoln, and of the course the presidential couple of Mr./Mrs. Obama. The point of the workshop was bringing out the self-confidence reservoir that so many influential people continue to have with their career aspirations. With the case of Abraham Lincoln, he stands as the leader of swag, because not only he was the youngest president, but he was elected despite his lack of experience in political office with his only leadership experience was running a two-man legal office. Now that is swag to be able to convince others of your potential and success.The same needs to apply for my professional career, I need the professional swag were everyone in the office considers me a leader and there go-to-person. As quoted from our presentation and Jay Z, “Go Further, Go Harder, If Not Why Bother.” I have to continue my push to have show my professional swagger.
Obama turned his swag on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
