Journal Entry 1

0/15

Today was the first day of class. Going in I didn’t really know what to expect from the course. Once Dr. Sandridge walked into the class, I was confused as to why he had this huge walking stick. When he spoke to the class he went over basically what the class was about. He stated that this course would be about leaders and how to develop into a leader. From there he went on to explain the walking stick. He stated that most good leaders have a walking stick. Immediately what came to my mind was shepherds and how they walk with a staff or in this case it would be considered a walking stick.

From that point we went on to talk about what makes a person a leader. He gave us the task of coming up with 5 things that leaders do and 5 things that non-leaders do.

Today in class we went over the list that we came up with for good and bad leaders, but before we jumped into that we went over emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is broken down into 4 different categories. The different categories are perspective taking, empathy, self awareness, and self regulation.

We Then began to talk about the qualities. The good had an extensive list with some being they set goals, collaborate, embrace change, and keep promises. The bad list was rather short. It was a lot more hard to think of qualities that a bad leader posses. The ones we came up with were, they act of impulse, they resist criticism, they resent dissent, they focus on their own needs, and they ignore the blind spots.

Overall this class session was cool to see what we all think the qualities of a good leader should be.
