On Wednesday Chels and Matt did a great job with their chapter. They gave us two questions to reflect on in our blogs which I think is a great way to hold us all accountable.
"What can I bring to the table of a group?"
-I help build and finalize ideas and am more than willing to work to see them through. I like to lead quietly by example. I also like to think through things for a while so I can consider all sides of an idea.
"What can I improve on?"
-I think I can improve on making myself heard more of the time. A lot of the time I would rather just sit and listen, absorbing and processing everything that goes on rather than giving my input right away. I could definitely be better at putting my own ideas on the table instead of just building off of others'.
I also thought the General-Decision Making Style Assessment was interesting. My scores I thought reflected me pretty well. I was highest in rational decision making with intuitive and dependant decision making tied in a close second. Aviodant and spontaneous decision making were my lowest two by quite a bit. I like to think and reflect on all things invloved in a decision and consult others, even to just add their feedback to my pool of factors, but try my hardest to not avoid any. I think problems can occur when that happens. I like to explore all options and think long-term, not only for myself but for others the decision my involve as well.
Hey Kelly great post, I like how you used their questions in your blog and thought about what you can do to improve your mentoring skills!
