This week, my great experience in BA352 class is I started to talk more in a discussion. The two reading for this week is really impressive, because it teaches me that being a good leader need do some more than just one’s own job. A real leader will have to frequently got in touch with group members, come up with creative idea, and inspire him/her and teammates at the same time. There are so much work to do to be a good leader, and this week, I am trying to do one of them, talking more.
I used to be a person that cares about people’s view of me very much, and the effect is I cannot talk when I do not have a good plan. But during this week, I tried to talk when all teammates have no idea about what this project or activity is going to be. I start to get a feeling that teammates are really nice and do not care about my influent English and weakness in my idea. They give compliment when even there is only little portion of my idea is correct.
One thing impressed me mostly is the design thinking project of this week. My partner is a guy call Max. The activity is actually a little difficult for both of us, because both of us are poor painter, and creating a backpack can satisfy all partner’s needs is a thing we never have done before. But as I talk more and more, our communication became more effective. Therefore, we both got what an ideal backpack would be. This is the best experience of communication in this class so far.
Besides communication skills, my writing skills have improved in this week. The writing assignment 1 is pretty useful in business.
