leadership video

I found that our last activity related better to the Mind Your Business readings than the Managing Teams book. Our leaders last time were higher on task and lower on people (but not so much that it was a negative thing). They gave us very specific directions, yet the activity was broad enough so that we could each contribute our own creative ideas. In addition our class has high follower maturity and so that also contributes to the success of each activity. Also, in regard to history repeating itself, I think that each set of leaders are building on the positives and negatives of the previous activity leaders to improve their own style. I also believe that here at Hardin-Simmons and especially in the leadership program, we are very people centered, like starbucks. Thirdly, since our activity involved all of us to contribute instead of just the two leaders telling us what to do; we came up with a more creative outcome than we could have with just a few people brainstorming. This is an example of how the groups outperform the individuals.
Anyways, I thought that how the leaders presented the activity was very good and well planned out I just wished we could have seen the finished product. Technical difficulties are understandable though and I guess it'll be on facebook soon. The only time the activity seemed disorganized was when the directors went into the hall and the rest of us were supposed to come up with ideas. This was confusing and seemed like a waste of time for the rest of us but was necessary for the directors to get organized and plan the theme and storyline of our video. As far as our small group, I think we stayed on task and worked together in brainstorming and putting our section of the video together. We each took a role or two as far as editing, filming, and acting. And even though we weren't completely knowledgeable or experienced in one of the areas we discussed (music) we played it off like we did know what we were talking about and it turned out well. :) I look forward to seeing the finished product and I look forward to our next activity!
