Week#8: Guest Lecture

 
Thank you for having great lecture today Brent!

According to his analysis sheet, my leadership type was best close to Integrator.
 
 
Mostly my expectation linked to the result so I wasn’t surprised so much. One quality of integrator is understanding and listening others. And yes, I tend to keep it in my mind. It sounds as a good thing, but in other words I can take my tendency have bad aspect because I used to too much care about what people say rather than what I think. To cover up the back draw, I need to make sure a purpose or vision of what I want to do or give a priority beforehand.

After the lecture, I asked Brent, what I can do cover up my week points because often it cause troubles. His answer was “cooperation”. He said “If you are good at baser side, do not think to cover up everything by yourself.  Find someone who is good at opposite things to you and cooperate with them. Since it takes a lot of time to overcome back draw, this strategy help you to more focus on developing what you are good at.” In Japanese way, either in education or work, everybody in team are required to have equally same standard skills in different area. Team means the group of people who has similar abilities. However, it seems for me that in western way, a team means the gathering of people who have different traits and characteristics each other. Each may have disadvantage but they become one community by covering up each back draws and using each strong advantages. I thought cooperation is one of important qualities of teamwork and leadership.
