Firstly, I was surprised that what I thought were my weaker points (model the way and challenge the process) were actually rated much higher by my observers. After considering my results, however, I realized that my observers were more correct than I was in these two areas and were correct in rating me lower in the areas of encourage the heart and enable others to act. Although I do encourage others, I have to consciously remind myself to, whereas I am simply outspoken by nature and motivated to change something that I do not like. Accordingly, modeling and challenging are probably most useful as an RA in terms of creative programming and enacting changes in the residence hall community. Nonetheless, I have to continue working on encouraging others since it is a crucial aspect in terms of being a role model and building teamwork. Having said that, I also think that there are other factors that need to be considered in terms of appropriate leadership. While one resident may need constant encouragement because of her personality, another may need a more aloof model who simply emulates the desired qualities of a community member. As such, I would also add flexibility and malleability as another characteristic that is crucial to key leadership in both the group project and being an RA.
