I really enjoyed Diana Patten's presentation. She really helped to show what qualities a leader needs to have. As I am taking on more and more leadership roles, the resources of others is becoming my greatest asset. I need to know how I can use other members of the group to their fullest ability rather than me trying to do everything myself. I am becoming better at delegating. I also agree with her that Apollo 13 is a wonderful film. It is incredible to think about how well those leaders reacted. They wouldn't accept "We can't do it" as an answer. They had to find a way to bring those men back, and they did. They were able to think on their feet quickly, delegate properly, and problem solve using all their resources.
