Leadership.

"If your actions inspire others ti dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are leader." 

                                -John Quincy Adams

I'm not going to lie, I didn't put much thought into what today's class was going to be about.  I figured it would just be one of those typical "work together problem solving, figure out who the leaders is" games.  Buuuutttt, I actually really enjoyed todays lesson. I usually hate the "evaluate yourself" questionnaires, but  this is one that I can apply in real life.  I recently got promoted to be the back office manager position at work and this will help be to know what my strengths and weaknesses are.  One thing I didn't about class was that we kept categorizing all managers to be very task oriented, and added a negative connotation to a manager position, and all the praise to leaders.  I feel that a good manager has the ability to be a good leader and manager. That they are able to set the pace and example, approach problems in a bureaucratic, unbiased fashion, and yet still be able to delegate responsibilities and ensure tasks are completed.
