Even Daniel Kahneman, a noble prize winner in Economics (granted for the research related to the behavioral economics) and an author of the book: “Thinking, Fast and Slow”, admitted that he himself doesn’t trust his intuition. Some scientists say, intuition is normally based on our life experiences, whereas others claim that intuition may not necessarily be based on them but is able to create new experiences that may take a form of tacit knowledge (e.g. know- how) worth sharing with others.

"Bezos shows intuitive thinking in his products by continuously coming up with new products to compete with his competitors. One way Bezos shows intuitive thinking would be how he’s planning for drones to fly Amazon deliveries to customers.

He invites fellow leaders to witness the process of leadership development vicariously; revealing both the challenges and victories his church experienced throughout the journey.

By taking on leadership roles such as being president of environmental club and public relations of class council, I am a mentor to others all while sharing the same interests and providing opportunities for them to build their own character. Prior to this school year, I was fortunate enough to attend a weeklong event called Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, where I lived there for a week surrounded by young leaders from all over south jersey. In this experience, I learned that being a leader means being understanding of others and their situations. With this experience I was able to bring back what I learned to my own communities like environmental club. Not only do I have to be organize and communicative, but I also have to be a role model to members of a club by showing my own good character.

In the first chapter of Credibility How Leaders Gain and Lose It Why People Demand It, Beth Bremner discusses how she was ashamed of telling people where she worked because the management at her previous place of employment did not share her values of truthfulness and integrity. She continues to explain that she desired to work for a business that shared the same values, beliefs, objectives, and visions as she did. The authors, James M. Kouzes and Barry Z. Posner, discuss how many people are motivated and strive for the same aspirations as Beth. These are the factors that play a major role in increasing employee motivation on the job. While management was once determined by status and privilege, this is no longer the case.
When questioned life coaching continues to answer back and move forward with reports like the Development Dimensions International Global Leadership Forecast, that states, two of the five most critical skills for leaders is managing change and coaching (Steed). Life coaching has advanced to the point that everyone from CEO’s to at-risk youth are being “coached”, with the international Coaching Federation-having memberships of over 5,000, and currently more than 150,000 people call themselves “life coaches” (Jones).
