On Friday, we had a wonderful guest speaker in our class. Her lecture was exciting, and I also got some clues for my final project, so I'm hoping to incorporate those into my essay.
Thank you for inviting her, Ken!
She fascinated me from beginning to end. She made me think, "What's going to happen next?" at every moment. What I learned from her is that self-awareness is a quite important idea to perform effective leadership. Since we all have different personalities, our strengths and weaknesses are different.
For instance, I belong to Architects and Analysis group. According to Michelle, some of the advantages of this group are, good at analysis and process observation, can come out with totally of the wall solutions that work. The weaknesses are, on the other hand, can happily leave most decisions to others and focus on only one decision, and can be slow in making decisions. Being aware of both my strengths and weaknesses, I can change my attitude for the next group work I will participate in.
In addition, I noticed that not only leadership, but also partnership is important. Every member in the group may perform different types of leadership, all of which are essential. Therefore, cooperation is necessary to do a good work!

As you can see in the picture above, self-awareness is related to so many things. It seems to be a starting point for leadership :)

Hi Sayaka,
返信削除Thanks for three fine posts. Just a couple of quick comments:
I like your point about caring for one another being so important. It is appreciated, even by those hardened sailors of Shackleton. Interestingly, he was not so good at taking care of himself.
The marshmellow experiment was new for me. I know my daughter would eat it in a second; my son, however, would wait. And I am glad to hear you have gymnastics and sewing as gratifications—they would be good ones.
Self-awareness, as you have noted, is indeed at the center. These days there is a lot of emphasis on personal leadership as being at the core of leadership generally. And I am happy that Michelle made such a positive impact on you.
Dear Ken,
削除Thank you so much for reading my posts and leaving comments on them. I'll keep working on blogs!
