I hope to finish my Report within the next few days, as I have to hand it in early before my December ski trip. We had our first face to face tutorial group yesterday, it was great to meet my tutor and fellow peers.  It was interesting observing various characters within the group, and whilst there is a wealth of experience within our TGF I really enjoyed working through the case studies analysing how different people handled different situations and most importantly how did they communicate this?  Everyone has their own frustrations, worries etc -but it's how we choose to handle or react that I think sets you apart.  We can all come up with solutions, and we can all be smart in our own ways, but how do you choose to deliver your message and how appropriate is your delivery?  If you think about who you would like to work with, what type of leader or manager you respect, and what type of leader or manager you want to be...I guess it's different for everyone.  I feel a humble approach can work well, and an aggressive approach can be a turn off, but most importantly don't lose control.  It's inspiring seeing people handle situations well, and it's also a learning curve to observe those who allow their assumptions to not work in their favour.
