Having Dr. Hellweg speak in our class today was great. I have had her for another class and really enjoy how she teaches. Today's lecture was all about committees and was interesting because when I think of a committee I think of a team, but she explained how there are leaders and followers in a committee as well.
She explained that maybe in the beginning of a committee getting together, there may not be a 'leader', but as time passes leaders will emerge and people will follow them. The list of specific functions was really helpful. It basically listed the good qualities a leader should have in a group or committee. It had a lot to do about encouraging others, making suggestions instead of giving directions, and facilitating group interaction.
I've always been interested in Organizational Communication, so I really enjoyed having Dr. Hellweg as our guest speaker today although much of the information was review. Her lectures are very organized and I think I learn best this way.
