Teamwork, Leadership, humility, openmindedness

I didn't do all of these on the same day, but I kind of forgot about blogging them. I did teamwork when I had to work on a project for my Spanish class. I let the group take the reins on it and contributed when needed, usually I try to take the lead on things like that. Flow was actually pretty high which surprised me. I also felt less stressed about the project as a whole.

The next day we shot a video for the Spanish project. I took the lead on this one, mainly because it was my camera :). It went really well. We all had a lot of fun. I put the video together with a program I have on my computer. Flow was ok, and I stressed out a little when my computer was having problems.

I did humility at work last week. I started working at Gallup which is like telemarketing except we do surveys instead of sell things. I had 120% capacity on my third day on the phones. Everyone I started with was talking about how well they were doing, no one was doing as well as me. So I chose to stay quiet and not say how well I was doing. This is what I usually do. I feel bad for kind of lying but I'd feel worse for bragging. It really bothers me though when someone else is really bragging and I know I did better. At times like that I really want to knock them down a few pegs, I guess that's my competitive side.

I also used openmindedness at work. They tell us that the intro. is everything when trying to do surveys. I really like to figure things out on my own but the intros I was trying weren't working so I asked for help. It worked, I started doing better on the surveys and felt better about the situation. I should really ask for help more often.
