Reflection 3

Leadership and Groups/Teams

Leadership:

Influences to meet goals.

Emotional Maturity

ability to remain even – tempered during stress

Motivation to Lead

Be in charge Influence others

Groups and Teams

Working together

Self-Managing Work Groups

No appointed supervisor – work together

Intragroup Conflicts

Differences in the group: “Do your part!”

My Behaviors

Defensive and Cocky = Bad Manager

What I learned

Emotions cause me to overreact.

Think before I speak

My Understanding

If I can’t change the way I react, I will only cause more stress on myself.

Better Future

Act more mature in tough situations to gain fellow employees’ respect
