i'm filling out this application for an emerging leaders program at babson and one of the questions is "who is a leader that you look up to and feels exemplifies leadership and why?" and the first person that came to my mind was my dad, but i think they want a well known leader. but i can't think of one female international business superstar that i know well. there's Condoleezza Rice, she more into politics than business and i don't know her well enough to write a response on her. i'm sure there are a lot of powerful businesswomen but they aren't well known to the average person, yet everyone knows that Miley Cyrus cut her hair. i think that's what i want to change. business doesn't have the weight in society that it should. i feel like the only way people know about a business is if they do something bad or wrong, and then they are all over it bashing them. but what about the good ones? the ones that one person turned around and made amazing? i guess we know a few like that...like Apple, and then we all know the story of Life is Good, and i'm sure there are more. but i want more, i guess.

right now though i need to figure out who i should write about, and i need three words to describe my leadership style.

maybe i'm not cut out for business school.
