Leadership begins with self-exploration. You may be used to thinking of leadership as constant movement and sharing motivation 24 hours a day. But many leaders are woven from worries and fears. It is normal, and it does not stop you from becoming a good leader. Professional coach and CEO of Reboot, Jerry Colonna, believes that a good leader is primarily a good person who accepts their strengths and weaknesses and helps others.Colonna's formula states that leadership consists of developing practical skills (ability to do the job), self-esteem (understanding who you are), and sharing experience. All of this requires a lot of dedication and often accompanies self-criticism or fear of failure. Therefore, Colonna wants bosses to engage in inner examination and learn to understand the nature of their emotions.Radical inner exploration allows us to analyze the past and see our lives' patterns as forces that shape who we are. Understanding and acceptance make better leaders and happy and resilient people.
Work provides our sense of security; it feeds us and gives us a roof over our heads. But work also often causes our suffering. Jerry Colonna wrote his book to help us rediscover the ability to do our jobs well, but with new strength and knowledge about ourselves. This summary will help us rethink the path of growing up, turning it into maturing. Explore the following topics: 1. Analyze belief systems from childhood and figure out your attitude to money formed from an early age. 2. Discover the moments that caused your insecurities, stress, and fears as a leader and learn how to find support from other people. 3. Reconsider the meaning of life and work, learn to accept your vulnerabilities. 4. Deal with “adult” and “leader” concepts and how they are related.

Jerry Colonna's favorite childhood game was Monopoly. He learned that people need money to feed their families and achieve success; it was synonymous with security. Young Colonna took the game extremely seriously; growing up, he turned Monopoly into his reality. Money was his safety, and his life was a game with a constant search of winning.Since childhood, he was afraid that he would not be noticed, recognized, and accepted. He was scared to fail and live in conflict and poverty like his parents, so he tried to please everyone. These attitudes from childhood continued to shape him as an adult. Carl Jung said: “I am not what happened to me. I am who I want to become.” Your past may influence you, but only you decide how it will affect your present. But for Colonna, childhood was associated with misunderstanding. It took him a while to accept his experience with gratitude. Rethinking your past as an essential stage in the formation of who you are will free you from the forces holding you back.
