565 week 4
This week was insightful. The game specifically was eye opening. While playing the game in class I began to realize that we were no good to say the least. As we were playing our strategies made sense. But after each round we faced more and more rejection. None of our players were progressing and our strategies were not improving. This experience has opened my eyes to the difficult tasks that leaders have to face when it comes to making systems work. There are so many angels that need to be looked into and when you think that you have it all figured out, things still may not turn out as planned. I hope that we have a better insight next week.

It is totally a new experience and a difficult one because dealing with individuals and rejection can be difficult for anyone running the show. It is important as a leader to keep your head up and continue to seek out ways to express your message so all individuals understand, whether they agree or disagree, with you ideas. A good leader notices that it is impossible to get everyone on board with your ideas, but has the ability to assign task and duties for that individual to perform to help the cause.
ReplyDeleteIn our group we have a person who is well versed in the type of activity we are doing yet, we manged to not listen to her and somehow went in the direction that turned out wrong. We didn't argue or anything like that but we didn't let her explain. This is how easy it is to miss an important idea or view point. It slipped right past us. Believe me, I will will be a much better listener this week.
ReplyDeleteHopefully on reflection you saw key ways to assist in change
