Chris Paul : ” A Builder”
Last Friday in BA 199 members of the cohort realized what kind of leaders they were in a specific setting. Leaders were described as either people who “do” first or “reflect” first. I found out my leadership style was that of a builder; someone who reflected on their environment and let everyone else get involved first before planning their attack on the task at hand. Chris Paul the point guard for the Lps Angeles Clippers resembles this “builder” style very well. As a point guard his job is to get everyone else involved and share the ball before looking for his own offense. In some cases his success in the game is correlated to how well his teammates are playing. The drawback of being a builder is that you may rely on people a little too much.
Brandon, you have exceeded my expectations in your first journal post!
What you have done well is explaining your interpretation of the leadership style and when you applied your understanding to another scenario (great choice btw) it shows your reflection.
Your area for improvement in your blogging is to reach to explain how your realization connects with you personally and elaborate on either your school work or leadership experiences in the college environment.
Keep up the great leading!
