Leadership - Julius

-What did you learn from your leader that can help you motivate others in your leadership roles or projects?
I learned that you can rely on experience from the past as a measure of authority toward convincing others that you are capable of leading and succeeding in the realm of the given task.  I would humbly express to others in my group that I have a talent in the area we are working and would like to share my ideas.  Having an expression of authority would give them confidence in my abilities, and in turn, their faith in my abilities would give me courage and faith to do my best at leading them.

- Which leader (besides your own) surprised you in how they motivated others? - I had quite for gotten that women were so devious.  Marilyn Monroe was a bit scary with her methods of seducing men to get what she wanted. 
Hitler wasn't really a surprise, but I found it frightening that after all our friend had learned about Hitler, his response to motivating most people in most situations was utter fear, fear of death.   I ended up in the group with Hitler and Thomas Monson, things got tricky for sure.
