1.) The readings discuss the need for authentic leaders to  be aware of their morals and/or values and to then act based on that  understanding.  This made me think of two  questions.  First, what are some of your  morals and/or values?  More importantly,  how do you know this?  NOTE: This has the  potential to be a very long answer.  I am  only looking to scratch the surface here as I know that to fully answer this  would require both great time and great thought. So, just begin to share your  thinking on this.

2.) Craig suggested that a key aspect to developing as an  authentic leader is to have a crucible moment that allows us to find out more  about who we are through the crises or challenges in our life.  What  would you say is/was your crucible moment?  How did this help you better  understand who you are? (Please share as you are comfortable)

3.) Reading the beginnings of the Dumbwaiter  article reminded me of this bit of information. a friend of mine works in AI  and predictive software and had told me, a few years ago, that India was  outstripping the West in engineering/scientific skills, partly due to their  incorporation of MIT/Harvard (and other ivy league schools) open curriculum into the existing education  systems.
