Alrighty. First of all I want to change my leadership role because this past week in my entrepreneurship class we were put into teams to start and run a business, and because I have the most business experience of my teammates and seeing as we'll be doing a lot of working together, it's a perfect place/opportunity for me to apply the things I learn about divine centered leadership. (But don't worry, I'll continue to be a leader in my FHE group, and in all other areas of my life as well; perhaps I'll occasionally write about some FHE stuff too if that's okay.)

Since the lab the person I was able to get to know was my peer mentor. I hadn't yet met her and I guess it's kind of funny that it I picked her for this project because she's technically supposed to get to know me, but I decided to really get to know her as well. Anyways, I met her in the hub, she was really nice, and we ended up talking for 45 minutes about me and my plans, and also about her. I found out that she's the only girl in her family out of four other boys, she goes rabbit hunting/exterminating with them on their farm, and she was recently married. Her major is psychology and she really wants to be a school counselor or a marriage consultant someday. I can't say that I got to know her really well, but I did make an effort.

As far as seeing people as they truly are--sons and daughters of God--I think the more I can do so the better I can lead because knowing who they are will help me love them and will also help me to treat them with respect. Although there are those who do not live as they should, by loving and respecting them for who they truly are, they are changed and lifted up to do the same. I think there's real power in this knowledge.

The way I will apply Divine Centered Leadership to my role in my business team, will be to try to really get to know my teammates and develop a love for them. Also, as leader I feel it will be very important to respect the ideas they have and the effort they put forth and to never demean or discount their work as we learn and do our best together.
