HULK HAS HAD 3 EXPERIENCES THIS SEMESTER THAT HAVE ALL BEEN ON WILD ENDS OF THE SPECTRUM!
IN ONE GROUP HULK HAS BEEN THE LEADER! NOT TO TOOT MY OWN HORN BUT EVERYTHING HAS BEEN GOING SMOOTHLY! TEAM HAS BEEN COMMUNICATING CONSTANTLY, WE ALL KNOW OUR SCHEDULE AND HAVE BEEN AHEAD OF IT FOR WEEKS!
SECOND GROUP HAS BEEN SLIGHTLY MORE ISOLATED BUT WE STILL MANAGED TO GET ASSIGNMENTS DONE ON TIME, AND EVEN HAD SOME FUN DISCUSSION IN THE PROCESS!
THIRD GROUP HAS BEEN A ******** DISASTER! HULK KEEPS BEING TOLD TO SWITCH JOBS CONSTANTLY, NEVER GIVEN ANYWHERE NEAR ENOUGH TIME TO GET HULKS JOBS DONE, AND HAS NOT HAD ANYWHERE NEAR ENOUGH CONVERSATION GOING ON TO UNDERSTAND GOALS FOR THE GAME TO GO ALPHA!
FOR ANYONE TO BE AN EFFECTIVE LEADER THEY NEED TO HAVE EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION! BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO OTHER PEOPLE IN THE TEAM! AND BE HIGHLY ORGANIZED!
TO ACHIEVE THIS EITHER YOU HAVE ACTUAL PHYSICAL MEETINGS OR CREATE A GOOGLE GROUP!
THE NEXT THING IS THAT JUST BECAUSE YOUR THE LEADER... YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO THROW PEOPLE AROUND OR THREATEN TO KICK THEM OUT WHEN THEY GET ANGRY! YOU HAVE TO EARN THAT RIGHT THROUGH WORKING WITH THE TEAM!
AS LEADER YOU NEED TO SET UP A SCHEDULE AND DIVI UP RESPONSIBILITIES! AND NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS DON'T THROW YOUR GUY WHOSE WORKING ON THE 3D MODELS INTO CODING AND THEN INTO THESIS DEVELOPMENT! ITS NOT FAIR TO HIM, YOURSELF, OR THE TEAM!
INSTEAD ASK HIM TO HELP THE OTHER PROJECTS WHEN HIS WORKLOAD IS DONE!
OR ELSE YOU'LL BE STUCK WITH HUNDREDS OF UNFINISHED SECTIONS FOR THE PROJECT!
IN REGARDS TO A SCHEDULE, YOU SHOULD SPEAK WITH THE TEAM, DECIDE WHAT SHOULD BE DONE WHICH EACH WEEK, AND AS TIME GOES BY SHOULD BE UPDATED IN THE GAME DESIGN DOCUMENT!

Indeed, a good leader must also be a good communicator. He must be able to talk to his team and also listen to each and everyone's opinion. A leader who listens would make his associates feel they are worthy, and encourage them to participate well.
