What altered my perspective on leadership

During the zebra/water activity. The action that re-framed my thought about leadership, was when Adrienne and Anna had a disagreement. I personally never really took the time to understand why a person was shy to voice what they believe or be confident in their ideas although they are a leader. I noticed with Anna's reaction to what Adrienne said and Adrienne's delivery. I know we were crunched for time and we all were trying to figure out a way to solve the puzzle. However, since this was a group setting and we were in a small space, not communicating in a effective way  was a great example of how we as a strong group of leader have to become followers at some point. In this situation, Anna and Adrienne had strong beliefs in their ideas, and they both wanted to heard. They were confident in their thoughts and were competitive about whose idea would be better. I agreed with Matt when he was really excited about the different reactions that took place during this activity. Everyone in groups had different experiences and different types of ways of communicating. This altered my perspective on leadership because before this activity, I thought leaders have different ways of communicating and regardless if it's the right or wrong way, as long as the job gets done it's fine. On the other hand, after this fiasco that took place, communicating clearly and respectively is the right way to communicate. In the end we did not win this activity due to misunderstandings and not communicating with a open mind. I now understand why knowing how to utilize what you think a good leader should be is important to be a successful leader.
