module review

Reviewing this module, I was impressive in the first class about building tower this week. Each leader drew his/ her personality and I got autocratic type which was totally out of my image. At the first beginning, I tried to pretend autocratic leader, but I gave up this role just after 3mins from start. Honestly, I was completely lost in the game. I didn’t know how to lead a team and even more how to build a tall/ attractive tower within short time. Nevertheless, my teammates lost their chance to cooperate with an autocratic leader, but we still had fun in this process. After this simulation, my teammates encouraged my performance and highlighted many advantages in my role.

At least, I learned that it is not easy to be an autocratic leader. The autocratic leader is supposed to be fully confident in his/ her decision. Even though I just need to pretend this role for 30mins, I feel very difficult to persuade my teammates without confidence. Additionally, I can’t complete the task without support from my members. Although I got a little frustrated in being a leader, my teammates were fully supportive in all the conditions.

Basically, the atmosphere is very positive in this module. Several opportunities make classmates leading in mini-projects or exercises. As Paul mentioned, this is safe environment. I cherished the experience of being a leader. Furthermore, I learned points of leadership and also followership.
