1. I feel I successfully incorporated the philosophies of leadership through autonomy and leadership through teamwork instead of a hieracrchial system. I feel as though these are two of my strong points when it comes to leadership because I realize that not everyone can do something exactly the way I want it done. Giving my classmates the freedom to look up information and incorporate it into the document made the entire exercise much easier. Because of this, the activity went smooth and we were able to get mostly everything correcy from the case in half the alotted time. Furthermore, incorporating teamwork and emersing myself into the team instead of acting like a supreme leader allowed us to be more efficient. I feel as a leader, it is better to do as you say. I do not like the idea of barking out orders then sitting back and waiting for your team to drop the information in front of you for evaluation. Instead, giving everyone a role and allowing them to fulfill that role and work together to help each other complete our tasks served to be more beneficial and made the activity more enjoyable.

2. Two elements of leadership that I need to work on are those of communication and organization. Instead of assigning specific roles to people, I sort of let everyone incorporate their own ideas into the word document. However, this led to some confusion as some people were completing the same tasks as other and it turned out to be less effecient then we anticipated. Secondly, as a communicator I needed to be more vocal in making the final decision as to what to do. I am not saying I wanted to dictate every decision being made, but when we had to two teammates professionally arguing over what the diagnosis and treatment guidelines were, I needed to step in more and not only help come to a conclusion, but also settle and re-focus the group to help accomplish our goalsl.
