1.) As a leader I could have encouraged more feedback from others or from those around me. I was a direct coordinator leader, so I knew my role was to create and lead discussion. However, by encouraging feedback I would realize what my teammates wanted out of me as a leader.

2.) I am going to focus on my leadership vision by listening effectively and to motivate others. A key in where I want to be as a leader is one where others look up to. My vision is to lead others and take initiative, however, with initiative comes patience.

3.) My style of leadership was built around control (red quadrant of the CVF). My strongest characteristics, being able to maintain strong relationships within a group and being an authentic leader, as well with self-disciplinary and specific visions, are even further developed. To lead with example.

4.) You’ve had a large contribution to the team and was a huge part of our success. You never deviated from the task at hand even if there was additional work to be done, you never stopped achieving.  You’re a passionate person that maintains a great working environment to be around.

5.) We in our group take pride in efficiency and quality. You have little motivation and tended to be unresponsive at times which caused our team some struggles. You have to organize yourself more to optimize your success and need to find your inner goals and achieve them, have drive in life.

6.) We are a very strong team in a sense that we all have certain strengths that contributed equally to the team; however there are areas that we can improve on. Majority of issues we have experienced are due to the fact that we have not well communicated with one another. We need to work on better establishing dates and times of which we needed to finish things. Also splitting the roles more based on our strengths would have made things easier for the task on hand. A team on the right page is a very successful team with less stress.
