Leadership

Last week in class we talked about leadership styles and principles. I also happened to volunteer to be a section leader for a lab of mine. Myself and five others are overseeing 49 classmates in our latest lab project. It is a four week project spanning three lab sections. It is a huge coordination, management, and organizational task. The six of us leaders met two hours alone for planning purposes for goals this week and the next. We wanted everyone to be on the same page and have a common goal to finish this lab with an A. Even within our group of leaders, there is a leader among the leaders and experts on different issues. We are all very organized and I really like the group dynamics for the most part so far. The next step is to convey the common goal tomorrow in class to the rest of our team so everyone is motivated to do their work. I am glad we talked about the leadership styles in class last week, so that I can a more effective leader for my section and can contribute to the leadership team for the role I should fill.
