Guest Speaker, Michelle

Today we had a guest speaker in our class, Michelle Juhast. She did interesting activity outside the class which divided us into four different types of leaders, an Analyst, a Relation-master, a driver, and a spontaneous leader. As for me, I was the spontaneous leader according to her way of dividing, which I totally agree with . I cannot help but stating my own opinion when we are working in group and making something together. I'm not sure if I am a good motivator but some of my friends actually have told be that I have inspired them to start something or do challenging things so maybe I am :)

 I learned a lot of things from today's lecture but especially, it made me realize that even if there are people who do not speak out their opinion that much in a group work or even if there are people who seem too calm and not excited about the work, they may be analysts who are waiting for the right moment when they get enough information or they maybe relationship-masters who are trying to reach consensus. So, I, spontaneous leader, should not judge people only by visible and quick action shown in a group work, but listen and pay attention to the talents my teammates have, and make the best use of them together. Now that I know my type and both strength and weakness, I think I can do great team work :)

Thank you very much Michelle for the wonderful class, and thank you Ken for creating the opportunity for us to have this class.

Good night everybody, see you on Monday :)
