#oub329 #B329LeadershipChallenge Can’t believe #group5 went and won the challenge in CB tutor group. I loved working with the team on our #socialmedia challenge #shareyournormal Now to tackle the EMA

[Rachel Beckett @RachelB_B329]

#activistleadership wants to make things better. They are dedicate to a cause, they need to convince or influence others to believe. I think this type of leadership requires a strong extrovert at the helm #ouB329 #B329leadershipchallenge

#resistanceleadership can be powerful and positive. It can bring change and empowerment. It doesn't need to be negative #B329leadershipchallenge #OUB329

[Rachel Beckett @RachelB_B329]

After studying #resistanceleadership in #oub329_week15, I think this could tie nicely to our #B329leadershipchallenge idea.

[Rachel Beckett @RachelB_B329]

We have chosen the issue of social media and its impact and influence on society. Still such a broad topic so deciding which direction to go, but think we all agree on how polarising it can be and what a pivotal role it plays on our self-esteem #oub329 #B329leadershipchallenge

[Rachel Beckett @RachelB_B329]

Not met with my group yet to finalise ideas for #b329leadershipchallenge but my initial thoughts are around ‘what’s the future of working?’ Based on the current trial of 4 day weeks or peoples desperate plight to the UK by attempting current channel crossings @B329Leadership

[Rachel Beckett @RachelB_B329]

Just caught up with the #B329LeadershipChallenge Tutorial. The concepts of tame, wicked or critical challenges were new to me. Looking forward to working collaboratively to have more diverse ideas for the CTA #B329_wk14 #OUB329

[Rachel Beckett @RachelB_B329]

@B329Rachel Wow that was some quick marking! Well done

Phew! Managed to get this in with a few days to spare. Again not sure if I wildly missed the point (it’s how I feel submitting every TMA) but it’s in the hands of my tutor now. #OUB329 #OUB329_week13

[Rachel Beckett @RachelB_B329]

@B329Rachel Haha you are as crazy as me then. I currently have a 5 week old and trying to navigate finishing this year 🤞🏻It takes a lot of organisation. Congratulations though ❤️

I liked this quote shared on my TGF by Barringer and Harrison ‘making business partnerships work is a fragile balance of competing forces’ #oub329 #oub329_week12

[Rachel Beckett @RachelB_B329]

Collaboration doesn’t always mean a win/win. All team members need to be open and willing, it shouldn’t be forced and clear vision from management needs to be set. #oub329 #oub329_week12

[Rachel Beckett @RachelB_B329]

This week has made me think about conflict being used as a positive. Rather than avoid, it can be useful in stopping poor performance and practice, and in turn, be a more authentic approach to leadership #oub329 #oub329_week11

[Rachel Beckett @RachelB_B329]

Overall have found this module really interesting, along with the decisions I have made for Susan along the way. Looking forward to finishing TMA02 #OUB329

[Rachel Beckett @RachelB_B329]

Have been busy with a newborn for the last 4 weeks, all online OU reading/work done but have failed to keep up posting my findings here. Will be catching up with these over the next few days. So sorry for random timing. #OUB329

[Rachel Beckett @RachelB_B329]

@sophiebrock6 @Insights I have also done this and found it very interesting

[Rachel Beckett @RachelB_B329]

@sophiebrock6 I know, I have been told mine won’t be in until 02/12 but I can’t help but keep checking 😂😂

[Rachel Beckett @RachelB_B329]

Been trying to get ahead due to baby number 2 due soon. Don’t know why but was nervous it wasn’t sinking in. Fortunately just bossed the #oub329_week10 knowledge check quiz so given me a bit more confidence. Intrigued about what type of leader I’m setting Susan up as #oub329

[Rachel Beckett @RachelB_B329]

If I consider the situation I was thinking of - my work - when answering, the key bit missing was building trust. However, if I applied the questionnaire to my home life with my husband, I think I’d have been a ‘collaborative superstar’ #oub329_week9 #oub329

[Rachel Beckett @RachelB_B329]

#OUB329_wk9 have just taken the Dr Laura Hills Questionnaire and am considered a team player. I have many attitudes that position me well when working collaboratively, but have some beliefs that may interfere with this. Need to be open to new ideas and thinking. #oub329
