Journal Entry 3: Learning About Leadership

Teamwork

So far, what I have learned from Unity For Equality is how to be a leader for my team. This is the first time I’ve been put in a leadership position. I’m used to being the one to follow orders so I was a little scared when I got the news I was the new Public Affairs Director. I was called in for a meeting to go over my responsibilities and I was getting nervous because I was overthinking my tasks. Also, I was asking my supervisor for approval of each of my action. He told me that I don’t have to go to him, I can do whatever I want with the team. I was very scared of me messing up. When I was first giving out tasks, I felt like calling my supervisor but I had to trust myself. After a while, I got used to being in the position as Public Affairs Director. Eventually, I didn’t feel nervous at all and I felt more confident in the decisions I made.
