Develop you own style based on self-awareness and lessons learned from leaders you admire.

Po had to accept that he must be the teacher and that’s when he finally can start learning how to teach. This is a fundamental and important leadership lesson – to become a good leader, you must: Later on in the movie, he realized he didn’t need to teach like his master and adapted his own style. Po resisted and immediately showed how bad he was at teaching by trying to imitate how his master taught. Now that he had mastered Kungfu, he needs to learn how to teach others in order to develop his “Qi”. In this movie, Po was told by his master that he must become the teacher. Shifu: You must take the next step on your journey, from warrior to teacher.

They are constantly learning about themselves and how to become better. Most great leaders have a growth mindset.

Leadership requires challenging ourselves and be willing to raise our hand for a new role even if we are not sure we can do it. We all love our comfort zones, but that’s not where we will develop our leadership skills. This was one of my favorite quotes in the movie. Shifu (Panda’s master): If you only do what you can do, you’ll never be better than what you are. Leadership lesson 1: Step Outside your Comfort Zone

If you haven’t seen it yet, I highly recommend it.

I was amazed at how well the story line conveyed some fundamental leadership lessons while being utterly adorable at the same time.

It was both entertaining for the kids and educational for us all. This weekend, our family went to see KungFu Panda 3 and loved it.
