Questions
What surprised you in the readings?
I am surprised how a group and a team could have different meaning and context. I always consider a group and a team having the same meaning but just different spelling.
What bothered you?
I agree to most of the things discussed in this specific chapter
What confused you or made you want to find out more?
I am intrigued by the concept of emergent leaders, and whether they could be more powerful when compared to leaders that are appointed directly by higher-ups
