reflection

Here at Ohio State I think it is important for almost everyone to shape their own selves into leaders wherever they want. This class has taught me that there are so many different environments that people need to be leaders and the issues they face. One thing I really enjoyed here was talking about being an ethical person in any setting. It is important that people take the time to reflect on what they do or say and if is deemed ethical. To many times there is an ethical issue that can cause conflict and stir issues. I know in any leadership position I have been in that is something I am careful of. I also learned so many techniques and styles my own classmates shared with me.
There were different approaches that I was learning of in certain situations that I have never taught of before. This tied in with appreciating differences and understanding others. That class was full of tension but it was also a reality. I think that in anytime of my life whether it be a professional setting, meeting with friends or family that I will  be faced with exposure to differences that I have to work with. This class also made me realize the privilege that I have in ways I would have never imagined. I think being aware is helpful.
 Finally, the strengths quest finder was very helpful. It allowed me to have specific areas I can check on how I was doing. I was able to recognize my strengths and use them when needed. We had some really good talks in the class that I picked a lot up from. Everyone's insight was also very helpful. Without real life applications of our discussions it would be difficult to understand it completely.
