second thoughts

How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world. -Anne Frank

if it's not working- fix it. but how?

Leading without having your hands all over everything. Something I tried working on this semester and I don't know how it is working out.

Giving the opportunity to others to take ownership, take risks, solve problems, and create something is one of the most crucial ways our organization helps pull people in and start the road to developing their skills, confidnence, and self.

Coming into this I asked...do you have any advice on how to do this next semester?...and I got the response.... Honestly? know everything... I took it at face value. Yes, know everything. Got it. But was it meant... Do everything?

I refuse to believe that doing it yourself is the way to run this team. However, i'm having a harder time than I thought with all of this~ sometimes doing it yourself just seems easier, but I know that that's not right. What happens when you see something crumbling- when do you step in? Do you step in? Do you do it yourself? I still am not satifised with myself, or my thoughts right now. I need to change my thinking~ or I need a new system.

too many thoughts for a night before a spanish exam.

    don't do it all yourself, that helps no one and just gives you more stress...don't be afraid to confront people about dropping the ball...and sometimes confrontation can simply be a phone call or email to ask how it's going, or ask for deadlines...

    if it doesn't hurt, it is not delegation

    hey chica, don't u love realizing you're in the middle of a learning curve? stick with it, follow your gut, you're on the right track,..people often forget that leaders are still learners as well. even leaders themselves can forget that they are (and are supposed to be) still learning and reevaluating themselves..constantly. it's how u know you're getting better. love u tutz :)
