-: There's a balance to be struck between leadership
and following a leader.
And if one of those things comes naturally to you,
I would challenge you to try the other one.
When I've posed a question to my students
and they, there's a long pause, again with silence,
I just sort of step back and see what happens
without my leadership, right?
That's one side of the spectrum.
If you're someone who's like, I can fix this problem,
I know what to do, I have an idea,
see what happens if you don't, or you just wait,
just wait five minutes and see
what other people come up with.
That can be really important in teamwork.
But what you hear more often is the other side, right?
If you are somebody who isn't the first to speak up,
or tends to sit back and wait and see what other people say
before you offer your opinion,
just experiment with what it would be like
to say the first thing off the top of your head,
even if it doesn't go over well.
Yeah, so I think a big part of teamwork is trying on
a different hat than the one you instinctively wear.
