This week in class, we covered chapters 11 and 12. In class we spent a considerable amount of time discussing the passage from Alice in Wonderland. People made many different connections between Alice’s decision of paths and their own lives. The type A, organizationally based individuals concluded that they needed to know their destination and follow the right path. Others believed that it didn’t matter if you knew where you wanted to go or not. Simply walking down a path would lead you to your destination.

We also discussed what leadership roles are in a group setting. We agreed that it is important for all members in the group to be on the, “same page”. Many people shared their own experiences in working interdependently. Everyone agreed that it is not good to split an organization or reward only certain individuals. This does not promote team unity. In our small groups we came up with ideas on how to strengthen strengths and minimize weaknesses in a group or team setting. Some ideas that people came up with included, have an open mind, communicate and listen, provide group incentives, etc.

In our e- discussion this week, everyone made connections between the chapter and their individual type. Many included ideas on how their type could benefit from leadership positions. Some of us also talked about how our different personality type worked in different group settings.
