The last #Analyst! (task 8)

Hi everyone! My name is Cristina Menargues and this week I am the analyst of my group.

First of all, I'm going to explain you the task of this week and then, my experience as analyst. 

In this activity, first, we had to understand the four different types of leader that our teacher explained to us: the authoritarian, the participative, the transactional and the transformational.  Then, we had to create a four false profiles in “Fakebook”  for each one and make a kind of speech trying to convince that he/she was the best leader in order to the people vote him/her. Also, our star was assigned with transactional leader on Monday, so she had to defend and to argue in order that people vote for her.

On the other hand, I’m going to explain you how I consider this week has been.

In the first place, I would like to tell you the best and the worst part of the activity. The best was that it was an easy and fast task compared with the previous, and we already known some aspects of the types of the leaders. The worst part was at first, because we didn’t know how the exposition was going to be, but then, when we know it, we could relax and work hard!

Besides, the best part of the week was on Monday when we could listen to the stars and how they argued their role, because they did it really well when they had to expose how they are better than the others, criticizing the other types of leaders. But, I believe that the worst part of this week was on Thursday when we had to meet to make it, since we were tired and we wanted to go to our houses, but still, we could make it quickly and the time was very productive because the facilitator explain to us how we could start with the work.

This activity served to us in order to learn those four different types of leaders are, because I believe that in different situations of our life we can find them, not only in the school or in a job, but, also, we learned that expose your ideas rightly is very important, so, apart from have the knowledge, you should know how convince people, how your arguments and how you defended can make  the difference, that’s what we had learn this week and at the same time, it is what I believe that we, as a group, have to improve it, not for the next task, but yes for the exposition of the portfolio.

We have to be more self- confident because is going to be reflected in the entire course and in our degree, and the differences about the leaders too, when we will get a job or in different situations in our lives, so, it is good know the differences and how to act with each one, as we can saw almost daily in the social connection, in TV, in films like “The Interview” or “The Dictator” or even in the news when there are some problems with companies and their bosses.

Finally, I’m going to explain you what things I believe that we have to conserve as a group, because I already said what we should improve. We are a consolidated group, we care of each other when someone of us has a problem with the documents, doesn’t understand some specific aspect of the task… We are always trying to help us in order to make the work as better we can, so, I believe that it is a good point for us and it is an aspect that we have to conserve.

I hope you like the reflections of the analysts in this course!

See you soon, Umpalumpas!!

Cristina.
