This week has been great! I have not really done much for my project except for presentation preparation. My 90 hours are completed and it is a great victory. The project has been researched, re-researched, talked about, and surveyed. I can only depend on the people in charge to start to make the class work in the coming year. It feels sort of like a challenge because I am not in control but I know it is really a victory that they see the vision and there is a syllabus to follow. The leadership lesson for this week is that when things are not in your control it does not mean the project is going in the wrong direction. Giving up leadership is a big part of leadership.
Question: Is anyone else having to give up their leadership for their project to succeed?

Since I am creating a proposal to help better develop the Red Cross board I will have to give up leadership. It's up to the board if they implement the ideas. It's almost as if it's out of my hands. Definately a different feeling when you are no longer in control of where your hard work goes.
ReplyDeleteSince creating this organization that will now run with completely different elected leadership, it will be up to them if they continue this organization or if it ceases after we leave the project. I think its a hard thing to give up, esp for a control freak like me. But it has been good for me to elect good officers that I know also want to see the organization be built up! So it is hard, but good!
ReplyDeleteNo, since I'm a junior I'll still be here next year. But I am definitely planning on recruiting more people to help if we do something else.
ReplyDeleteI'm in a strange position because I don't really have a lot of the leadership in the project. I've been doing a lot of research, but the real change is going to come through the general education committee.
