<\/p>\nOur assigned Team C (Amber, Ben, Melissa, Stephanie) met, brainstormed, and collaborated on an activity to rank the most important leadership attributes with our most admired leader in mind. The ranking was first performed before assigned readings and then after we read the provided literature on the topic.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As a starting point, Team C synchronously met and had an excellent discussion about our reasoning for our rankings of the characteristics of admired leaders. Our conversation began with a discussion of our top rankings, with honesty and competency being at the top of all of our lists based on our personal experiences. We noted that our rankings may be somewhat context-specific because we work in very different industries. That being said, it was very interesting to see how many similarities there were in our rankings, with few differences despite our different contexts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Another fascinating component of our team conversation revolved around the characteristics and traits that we wished were on the list. These included:<\/p>\n
Credible<\/p>\n
Authentic<\/p>\n
Genuine<\/p>\n
Intentional<\/p>\n
Vulnerable<\/p>\n
Mentor<\/p>\n
Bringing the \u201cright\u201d energy<\/p>\n
Humble<\/p>\n
As our discussion progressed, we had a light-bulb moment and realized that there is a difference between traits and actions. Some of the characteristics that we wished were on the list could better be described as actions that resulted because of leadership traits.<\/p>\n
Then, we reflected and collaborated on questions and thoughts as they arose.\u00a0This was a thought-provoking activity for many reasons. Individually ranking the characteristics of admired leaders encouraged us to think about our own values and perceptions of leadership based on our personal experience. Engaging in the readings, reflecting on our rankings, and making modifications to our rankings was a fascinating exercise in the power of reflection. Finally, coming together as a team and developing a consensus on the rankings was eye-opening in the sense that although we work in different industries, we shared many beliefs about the characteristics that made leaders admirable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We are looking forward to seeing the research results.<\/p>\n Team C<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our assigned Team C (Amber, Ben, Melissa, Stephanie) met, brainstormed, and collaborated on an activity to rank the most important leadership attributes with our most admired leader in mind.
