Of Being Chosen For A Supervisor Position And Leadership Qualities

Today I was voted supervisor during an anonymous election in class. The election was in regards to various topics, such as confidant, competitor, friend (to whom I would lend the Olds Alero, to which I answered no one), etc. Each person who was chosen for champion exhibited qualities that their "title" should. For example, the "friend" (car loan) category was a "good driver," a careful observer of others and of the law. I believe that I was chosen as Supervisor because I have the appearance of being organized (I'm terribly scatterbrained and have awful short-term memory), can properly structure a sentence & meet deadlines (even though I can't read traditional clocks),  and take charge when needed.

Also, here's a helpful clicky-link to learn more about perception and seeing channels.

Survival of the Fittest: Dominating Nature While Teaching and Helping your Prey into Submission

I was chosen for helper, competitor, and instructor. I believe this shows that I am competent in the coursework, a knowledgeable individual, and happy to share information with others. I believe that knowledge is useless if it is not shared and am therefore proud to have won those categories. Seeing channels are important because they help you make good first impressions and also give others insight into how you are feeling and your attitude. For more information on seeing channels and body language, you can check out this article on Business Balls.This experiment was interesting and I thought it was fun. I do not think my imaginary points make me better than anybody else and I feel sorry for those who felt inferior during this assignment, however, I do think it showed that the way I express myself effectively displays myself the way I'd like to be seen, as a well educated individual who is happy to teach others.

The Most Dangerous Game

I was chosen for the listener category. I believe that I was chosen for this because in conjunction with my rather well memory I can hear something then remember the thing later on. I was close in the Communication category and I believe I was because of my listing skills. Seeing channels are important because it can help get your point across and it shows what you are thinking while others are talking. To read more about body language click here.
