So this weekend us group leaders divided everyone up into groups. I didn't completely agree with the way we went about doing this, but its whatever. The route we ended up going was for everyone to meet at the doors and find where their assigned seat was. This didn't work out quite as planned.
The problem with all of this was that we simply didn't have enough time to get everyone in their seats. This left a few students in the dark as far as their group goes for the first few days. But none the less, as far as I know, everyone is in a group, so I'd say the group allocation was a success.
Also this week, I started reading Tony Dungy's book, Quiet Strength. I know this doesn't have anything to do with the class, but I found a lot of good leadership traits in this book. Tony Dungy is a great leader and a great man. Reading about him has not only given me new leadership ideas, but has also made me a better person. The main thing that I learned so far from the book is that there is no place in this world for excuses.
I really like Dungy's thoughts on this. A lot of times when we fair we jump to try and find an excuse, but why? I mean an excuse doesn't justify losing. And is sure as heck doesn't change the fact that you lost. So why even make an excuse. This is something that I took to heart and will try and use as I continue to grow as a leader.
