I often think of myself as a leader however it's during certain situations of when no one else steps up to the plate. I found that this is often the case when I'm either with more highly skilled individuals or when I'm with older team members. It's a reoccurring event that, after this class, I've really com to realize.
My cultural background is Japanese/Chinese and elders are never challenged even if you know they are wrong. I think this plays a huge role in where I only become the leader when I'm the older person in the group. It's actually only been recently when I take the leadership role due to my superior knowledge in certain areas. This primarily came about due to the necessity to complete a task.
Although it is almost common nature to me to only take an active role when I'm the elder, I need to learn to work with and even supervise my elders in the workforce. Being able to over come this obstacle will allow me to effectively lead a group and feel confident that my decisions are not going to be challenged at every step of the way.
