Lesson 5: Team Building Skills
Team building is essential to our Emerging Leader class. Throughout the year, there was always somebody assembling a team, or heading a committee for the class, or speaking up when it was needed in our class. Being able to build a team is a skill every one of us must possess. I think that in order to be an effective team, the leader must unify a common goal, they must take everyone's opinion into account, and they must be genuine in the manner that they present themselves. To me, a successful organization must have communication from top to bottom. Every person needs and deserves to be kept informed of the organization's progress towards their goal. I think that I do possess certain characteristics that can make me a very effective team builder. I am really good at seeing the best in everyone so it makes me able to unify almost any group of people. I love being a part of a team, so it makes sense that I love being a part of this class. This class is a team, and I have my teammates' backs.
