This document reflects on Kayla's experiences in a group project for her professional writing class. It describes tensions that arose in the group due to an overly aggressive email Kayla sent and her takeover of the project. Kayla later realized she and another group member Annie had similar feelings about the situation. The document then discusses leadership, emotional maturity, motivation to lead, and intragroup conflicts. Kayla reflects that her defensive and cocky behaviors made her a bad manager, and that she needs to think before speaking and reacting more maturely in stressful situations to gain respect from others.
11. After speaking with Annie about the
situation I realized that we both had
very similar feelings about not only the
project but the situation itself.
