Tower Building

So this week we got our team leaders. I got lucky with a good group and leader! My team leader Sarah has been very helpful and has established a open communication system. Which is very important for a leader, so this is a good sign :) During the tower building exercise, when we first went out in the hall she asked us if we had any ideas for the tower. After we discussed ideas for minute she then delegated responsibilities to the group members so we could get the tower built in the time we had.

Since I just read the "It's Your Ship" book, I'll relate her leadership style to that. Our first e-mail we received she put her phone number in it and made sure if we had any questions at all to e-mail her. Sarah has established an open-communication system which is going to be very important in this class. Sarah was also acting like the Captain when she asked what we thought should be done to build the tower. When the Captain first took over the ship he interviewed each member to get to know them and see what they thought should be done on the ship. Sarah did this on a smaller scale, but with the same principles. She wanted to get our input so we could build the best tower our group could, and we did :)

Even though we did not win the overall competition, I think we won our first battle as a group. :)
