We finished week four with a great deal more insight on our subject and on project developement. I believe that I have made strong strides towards improving myself on my Development Plan. My main goal in accordance with the 5 Leadership Practices is to stay open to ideas without getting attached to them. When we were initially drafting ideas, I had become very attached to a solution which put international and native students into a more social situations. At the time we seemed certain that we were going in the direction of international integration but our needs statement has developed much further since then. Under the context of our new statement my old solution is no longer viable. If I had been as stubbornly supportive of my ideas before, we may have taken the project in an unhealthy direction and created contention between members. Instead I was able to let go and I believe we have taken the project in a much better direction.
