Week2: Thoughts on today's discussion



I don’t know why, but today I really feel like posting…wow…
Anyways, we discuss like “What is your personal leadership vision?” in today’s class, and I am giving my thoughts and introducing what we discussed in this post.

I, personally, would like to be able to share my task with other group members. This is because I often carry out tasks by myself. It might be somewhat related to what the book says in “Create Engaging Distractions” on page 26-27.
When I belonged to brass band club in my high school, I was a leader of percussion part. And I was like a boss. I conducted almost all tasks alone. It is maybe true that I was a strong leader, but at the same time, I could have given others some tasks which provided them responsibility. I was too responsible for the part and other members too relied on me. I do not think that there was like a situation at The Edge, nor others felt anxiety, but still I assume I could have share my tasks with my part members.

Interestingly, there was a person who was opposite to me in the discussion. She tended to depend on others and she said she wanted to have her own opinion. I found it really interesting that many different (sometimes opposite!) people meet at one class and discuss or share each idea among others. Another classmate said that there are two types of leaders. One is like independent leader who leads others well, kind of similar to me. And the other is like a leader who is good at sensing others’ feeling and cooperating with others. He suggested that we need to switch these two kinds of leaders up to the situation and I felt it was true. We should keep in our mind that don’t incline to one type leader, we ought to become both.

Overall, I got many suggestions in today’s class and once again I felt I really like discussion.

  1. Hi Yu,

    Wow, you are on fire! These are all great posts and it is so much fun learning about you and your experiences and what you are getting out of the book and what you are getting out of discussion. I very much look forward to reading more of your excellent posts.

  2. Hi, Yu!

    I was also surprised to find an opposite person like you. I respect you because as a leader you can deal with many things which require a strong sense of responsibility, in addition, without any helps. There are not so many people who can do it. At least, that is hard for me now.

    Follow you, I wrote about the discussion of the previous class in my blog, too. There, I explain the reason I tend to rely on others which I could not tell you in the discussion.
