Stand up paddle boarding required BALANCE. You girls did a fantastic job of staying balanced yet taking risks to stretch yourselves and potentially take a dip in the water or land a new move. Balanced but playful, sturdy but shaky, serious but comical, determined but resilient.... Etc.
The more I thought about you all balancing on your boards, I realized that balance is crucial for leaders. Sometimes when inspiring or guiding others you have to balance two apparently contradictory elements. Consider situations when leaders need to balance the emotional with the rational, decisions with diplomacy, logic with creativity or risk with certainty. They’re everywhere! And those who master this balancing act seem to be the leaders that stick out in our minds as the most helpful.
Today, when you work in groups to arrive at one type of cupcake flavor, decorative style, decorative/cooking assignments, name or marketing technique .... You can imagine this will require team work. Your team will have to balance many tasks to arrive at one final product that is representative of your team effort.
Part 1:
What BALANCE will you bring to your team?
Ex: humility yet confidence
Part 2: How will you help balance the effort... Make sure all members contribute?
Part 3: do you have balance in your life? Example balance between work, play, family, sleep, etc?
the balance that I will bring my team might be positivity, even if we are behind or something isn't working, I will continue to stay positive.
ReplyDeleteTo make sure all members contribute, we could divide the tasks up to every person, so everyone has something to do.
I have to balance schoolwork, sports and fun time together.
Do you find it hard to balance HB workload and sport committments. What do you like to do for fun and do you feel supported in doing so?
Deletesometimes it can be difficult. I like to do volleyball and tennis for fun, and i feel supported by my tennis coach.
