Week Two: Communication Styles


I feel that I handle leadership with a spirited attitude and that I handle everything as positively as I can. During the Lapdog retreat I learned how to communicate better with other types of leaders and that it will better my relationships with them if I can adhere to there preferred communication type. Sometimes when working on projects and such I have a hard time delegating things out because I am concerned that people will not follow through or not do a good job on what they are assigned. I think it is easier to be the on being trusted because I have trust in myself to get jobs done and I am willing to prove it to others. I can definitely work on how I receive criticism or feedback I sometimes think people are out to get me and I take it in a negative way and almost always get my feelings hurt. I just need to keep in mind that they are trying to help better me and how I am as a leader. During the retreat I enjoyed getting able to be with the other kids from different schools and doing the communications game where we had to make matching crafts out of objects without being able to look at each others, we had to rely on successful communication to complete the game.
