Personal Leadership Journey: Miyamoto Musashi

Musashi believed that great warriors (leaders) needed to create a calm and stableplatform called bujutsu. It is a form of mental self control that is necessary beforecontrol can be exerted over other people and situations. (Preventive awareness)

Steps to attaining the proper mental attitude included:

Determine what is correct and true.

Place science into daily practice.

Know the arts. Honor the crafts.

Realize that everything has positives and negatives. Search them out. 

Acquire the capacity to observe things accurately.

Know that important things are not always obvious.

Attend to the smallest detail.

Avoid extraneous activities.

Point to Ponder: Do we see present-day implications for leadership and decision

making within Musashis guidelines?

Personal Leadership Journey: Miyamoto Musashi

Musashi also placed great emphasis on the physical attributes needed to

master the craft of leadership. Referred to as ken jutsu (Japanese for art of 

the sword), it involves knowledge, moves, and sleights of hand required in

master swordplay. 

Both bujutsu (mental) and ken jutsu (physical) comprise an archetype of leadership with correlates rooted in our present-day leadership style.

The American Monomyth

Idyllic setting in small town America (Eden)an ordinary existence until normalcy is

threatened by evil

A superhero must resolve the conflict (lawman, stranger, Superman)

Redemptive resolution Townspeople are saved by vigilantes or a stranger who disappear

into the sunset when the danger has passed

Americans have long held their form of government and their way of life to be under attackby vicious despots and dictators

- Declaration of Independence

- September 11, 2001

They (myths) are the real glue that holds peoples and nations together. For many, they are

integral in sustaining personal and social psychic health. In the Western world, the myth

supports the system or the establishment, and the establishment in turn sanctions the

myth.

Point to Ponder: What influence does the American Monomyth carry in

educational leadership?

The Role of the Female in

Leadership Archetypes Noted author Patricia Reilly ( A God Who Looks Like Me) shined a painful

light on the history of religion and the role of women. 

Early images of God as the Father and of the immoral first woman Eve,

combined with male savior figures such as Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed

helped lay the early groundwork for female, guilt, submission, andacceptance of men as the natural leaders of women. They became

enormous psychic barriers for women and gave men a false sense of their

natural leadership abilities.

Despite our understanding of gender stereotypes, the characteristics

traditionally associated with women are at odds with the characteristics

traditionally associated with leadership.

Leadership biases are even more prevalent against women of color, gays,

bisexuals, and transgendered persons in educational administration

Concluding Thoughts

The point that should be internalized from this chapter is how

our past has shaped our present in terms of leadership. How

we proceed in the future depends largely upon the act of 

coming to grips with yourself, who you are, where you are,

and what is of value to you, and shaping yourself by acts of 

conscious will into what you want to become.
