well this has been a most productive week as our uni group has been in contact using skype and google docs to get our assignment further ahead.
Collaborating with others that you don't really know and havne't met in person has been an interesting adventure and has had some nice parts such as when we finally hear each other speak
Next weekend we are all meeting in person (apart from the one in Darwin of course) so that will even be a nicer surprise.
Our assignment has made us all get more adept at the technology we will all be using in the libraries of the future so that has been another bonus
And our thoughts have been slowly clarifying as to what it is exactly they want us to get out of this assignment.
With regard to leadership as a process I have recently been coming to understand that leadership is not an event but a process (Henri as cited by Henri, 2009,pg8. What i am finding interesting here is that this idea is pulling away from the maybe more traditional view that leaders are those that primalrily engange in negotiating specific occurennces to those that are in the process of a journey where the outcome is not neccessarily the goal - rahter the process is and what may end up happening may be a long shot from what was originally thought may happen. This is a real blessing to me personally as I get a little anxious when I need to control a situation but it appears more apparent to me that leadership is not so much about being in control of the end result as guiding all along the process to discovering answers. What a relief to someone like me who can now relax a little more and enjoy the journey itself without being so caught up in trying to reach a set goal.
Well off to another round of exploring the world of technology as it relates to our topic proposal
