Week 4- Following a Blog

One thing that I enjoyed doing is to be "green" as much as possible, which was the reason I picked this as my blog to follow. G. Rendell is the author of the blog posts which discuss many interesting points that can relate to leadership. The point that was brought up was recycling and its meaning. He states that on campus, recycling is not just getting the stuff to the right place but also making it become apart of their normal routine. He wanted to make sure that after college student would continue to recycle. In reading this I saw that the the author is trying to show the student a different way that they can show leadership. I see that the author, is showing positive ways in showing how to portray to skills of the human and technical skills.

In looking at another blog that he posted, it is also seen that he is showing the human, conceptual and technical skills as well. He states that he talks to any teacher about sustainability, case by case. This shows that he goes out and tries to promote sustainability as much as he can but in a positive way. This example reminds me of my job shadow that I completed this week. The dean that I interviewed that he will do everything that he can for the school. In saying anyone that makes an appointment he will give the information that is needed for them to make the next step.
Another thing that was mentioned in his blogs what the economy and how it affects the work that he does. He discussed the many little things that one can do in order to make a change. In leadership, many times it is the little things that one does that shows that they are a great leader. For example, doing the small things like listening to ones concerns or being present at an event turns into something bigger.
