"Be the change you wish to see in the world, we need not wait to see what others will do."
As my collaboration profile stated, the negative to being a people person is that of the extreme follower. While I have never felt that I was a follower I had previously struggled with the concept of non justified being. Before doing anything I would assess the environment, people, and possible reactions to anything i would do. When reading The Radical Leap the concept of the OS!M really struck me. While I've never been one to feel awkward, or afraid of others opinions, I was mainly afraid of the idea of having people look up to me. It wasn't until I read the book that I changed into what I believe is a leader who isn't afraid to fail.Even though I still fear the consequences of failure, I believe that I could turn any negative situation into a positive one. I have also noticed just how drastically my mood can change the mood of my residents. Even though I belief everyone should be seen for all that they are, I am trying to be a more positive person, and continue to maintain composure regardless of the pressure of my situation. All in all I feel that I am gaining an enormous amount of life skills that I will benefit from many years ahead.
Excellent reflection. It is amazing how much a persons perceived mood can impact how others. I say perceived as there are times I have a difficult time reading your nonverbals. I don't share that as a criticism, but observation. It is important to be alert to how others MIGHT perceive us as it could impact our goals for the team and affect how they chose to participate. I appreciate the amount of self reflection you do....
