CED 565 Week 4
I found the leadership came very interesting. Coming to consensus on how to move forward through the game was challenging in of itself. It'll be interesting to see how we do next week. It was kind of to read the descriptions of the characters. I can see some of them reflected in those at my district. Maybe I'll pick up some pointers from the game!

Oh, Jenny, you're being too kind about our group work, lol. I also thought it was interesting but rather disasterous. Although we started out okay, listening and coming to a consensus, once things started to fall apart, it was extremely difficult, especially for you, to get a rational word in. Suddenly we became a group of Scurry and Sniffs (or whatever their names are), just grasping for any direction. You were the only one who seemed to have the concept, but the rest of us were just anxious to move forward. Wow! I certainly learned some valuable lessons! I also realized just how important it is for the team leader to have control to ensure that all ideas are heard. In all fairness, perhaps had we had the time to reflect on the activity, we would have had more success. I also wonder how the game might have been different if we had been face-to-face instead of online. Do you think it would have been easier to have input? Having said this, I'm looking forward to tomorrow's challenge!
Hopefully the game gave you insight and ideas on how to lead. Good luck
