Reading reflections chapter 1

At first the author is defining leadership as a matter of inner energy management and he says that the level of energy is directly proportionate with leadership level, so two emerging questions here are coming into light 1- how can we practically measure level of our energy and what is the minimal level of energy we should keep? 2- Many people have huge inner energy as a follower and when they promoted to leadership level they fail why? At the last partition of the chapter while he was talking about the fear of rejection and locus of control (either living inside out , or outside in), I think that the book did not give any consideration to cultural effects and if there were some stories related to big leaders regarding previous 2 points and how they dealt with .
