#OUB329 #wk15reflection @clementOU1 there are many examples that show resistance to leadership & the different ways that resistance is exerted. I always thought as resistance as more extreme organised action like protest marches, strikes & sabotage.

#OUB329 #wk14reflection @clementOU1 when challenges arise it’s important to use three steps of identifying, prioritising & categorising challenges. This may help when facing several challenges at the same time that could be tame, wicked or critical challenges or interlinked.

#OUB329 #wk7reflection @clementOU1 it’s interesting how leadership identity is perceived differently by yourself to how your fellow employees and followers perceive you. I am going to be working on aligning how others perceive my leadership identity to how I perceive myself
