After discovering GC im sure most of us have made incredible progress with our relationships with women.
We're not just getting laid more and getting into better relationships - we're getting a major part of our lives handled.
And most of what we've learnt can also be applied with our relationships with men so that now we have better friends, better relationships with our bosses/ mentors etc etc

What is the next step? For me its LEADING Men and Women.

At work.. At University.. etc

Even for those only interested in getting more pussy consider that
Shirking leadership
Bad leadership
No leadership
will lose you women. And at work it will lose you money, friends, acquintances, time, promotions etc etc

I think leadership is the most important skill you can have in any industry/ field anywhere in the world.

From GC we know that mantra of 'youre either born with it or not' is bullshit. Everything can be improved and made better.
So who to ask better for advice than my fellow students of GC.

I started my journey on reading leadership and influence articles from Forbes. How to hold and lead meetings, How to deal with conflict, negotiating etc etc but It all felt too 'clean' and 'sanitised'. Decided to go to the other extreme and read Machiavelli's Prince, Art of War, 48 Laws of Power, Tribal Leadership.

Definitely has been more useful but what else is there out there?
What can i do? Im trying to lead as many project as I can at Uni - it feels fantastic when they go well but GOD do i feel like im bumbling around when things get tough.

Im at that stage now where I was before I discovered GC: I have a problem, I know what it is, no idea what is the best way to deal with it!

Im not expecting an article on this (although id love it), but signposts and directions is what Im looking for. Books, Videos, Activities.

Aside from leading as much as I can in group projects - Ive just joined a speaking/ presentation group here in Munich and will practise this skill. I dont know how important this is if it at all but its something Ive seen all great leaders have.

Hands down the best set of leadership books I've ever read:

http://www.lifehack.org/articles/produc ... -read.html

If you're super-duper serious about leading (it'll be my future job, hence I read them all) then go through these in order and you should get a pretty solid idea of how to lead yourself, others and the women in your life,

Enjoy ^^

Elusive,

Yeah, most of the mainstream media sources aren't good sources for leadership. They tend to end up in the "management" field which is not leadership at all. Most people don't understand the difference. Leaders are proactive, while managers are reactive. So becoming a good leader means less creating rules for people to follow and more establishing fundamental principles and values that will guide your decisions.

7 Habits of Highly Effective People which is on Robster's list, is a really place to start.

I'd also recommend Leading with the Heart by Coach K. He is one of the best coaches and leaders of all time. Not many people can take some of the biggest ego's on the planet in the form of NBA basketball players and get them to work together.

Thank you for bringing up this point. Just saw this video yesterday touching on exactly this point and how important this distinction is.
