Day Thirteen - Belfast

Today we travelled up the road to Belfast, Northern Ireland. If you don't remember that Ireland is an island with two different countries go back to one of my earlier blogs. Ireland has a deep and rich history that I think is worth learning about.

We toured the area where the titanic was built and shipped out. It's hard to imagine that large of a ship in that space all those years ago.


After our tour the rest of the day was spent listening to lectures from successful entrepreneurs on leadership skills. In many ways I felt right at home as a number of them were engineers with an MBA, exactly like my own father.

After listening to them I have become inspired to start reading Harvard Business Reviews more regularly along with all the Michael Lewis books my dad has been telling me about.

Some of the things that stood out to me were that good leaders need to have the generosity gene, they are never the smartest people in the room as a result they can never be envious about that.

To accept that you're not the smartest person in the room and to not be envious about that fact would be hard. Hard in the sense that you have to motivate those people to listen and follow you.

The happiest part of my day was walking into my hotel room and seeing my view.
