The four Lead up principles that I read in the book were all quite interesting to read and learn more about. Lead-up number 4, which is “Do More Than Manage – Lead!â€� is something I constantly see in the show Grey’s Anatomy. Throughout the seasons we see five interns growing and learning how to lead within the show. More specifically, we see Richard Webber go from being a great chief, being a bad chief, and losing his position to then regaining his chief status. I recently rewatched an episode of a shooting that happens when Dr. Webber was not the chief at that point. He had lost his chief role from alcoholism and needed to go to rehab. While the hospital and its staff have been recovering from the incident, Dr. Webber stepped up again and starts to manage his hospital in a very different way as something tragic has happened, and now has to work around the PTSD from that event. We also see Dr. Webber start to lead and let the residents start stepping up in an attending role as one of the residents had to do surgery by herself with a gun to her head trying to save her attendings life from a bullet wound. This is a point from Leap-Up 4 of “Leaders Push Boundariesâ€� as Dr. Webber wants them to find a better way for his staff to work in their new environment settings with PTSD. We also see Dr. Webber making improvements by adding cameras and security systems so that the incident that happens does not happen again and keeps his hospital staff/patients/visitors safe. Also around that same time period, Dr. Webber starts to invest power in others, which is another point from Lead-up 4, where he sets out a competition for the attendings and gives the prize of 1 million dollars to the attending that has newer ideas to better their department and to create newer medicine and show that they can overcome anything and come back even stronger than before.

I enjoyed reading the second principle about how motives matter and lifting the load. This particular part of the book reminds me of my father, Kevin. My dad owns a business and usually works Monday through Friday. However, occasionally, I will call him on Saturdays to find out he is at work. I asked him why he works on Saturdays when that is his off day once, and his response was, “If I expect my employees to work hard, love their job, and respect me, I also have to work hard, love my job, and respect that they need help; even on the days I want to be at home.” That is something that has motivated me to work hard and go the extra mile in the things that I do. Another reason this reminded me of my father is growing up, I felt like I constantly had to please my dad. Either through academics, sports, being active in church, etc. I remember being terrified to tell my dad that I was moving halfway across the country for a job that I loved because he would think it was dumb. When I told him, he responded, ” if that is what you love, you need to do it.” Afterward, I told him how nervous I was to talk to him about moving, and his response was, “if your motivation is to please me, you will never be able to enjoy the things you do.” Don’t get me wrong, I still struggle with people pleasing and doing the right thing for the wrong reason, but with the help of my father, I can take on more responsibility to help others, with a motivation that is to be a better leader instead of to people please
