#b329leadershipchallenge #oub329 #blueteam #wk18 Our call to action for the #wicked challenge of climate change is to call upon the department of education to make climate change a mandatory part of the curriculum. What do you think @B329Leadership?

#oub329 #wk17 storytelling is something I'd never considered as part of leadership, but in reality it's one of the largest elements! @vivianagalleno

#oub329 #wk17 more relevant than ever #socialchange! The rise of climate activism is probably one of the most noticeable trends I've noted in the last couple of years.. It will be interesting to see where we end up from here, eh? @vivianagalleno

#oub329 #wk16 activist leadership is all about diversity and different perspectives. Two people fighting the same cause may have a totally different story to tell! @vivianagalleno

#oub329 #wk16 activist leadership seems to be certainly about the #collective. It's all about serious democracy and bottom-up decision making. @vivianagalleno

#oub329 #wk15 #resistance leadership is an interesting concept, it helps maintain or correct the power balance between employer and employee, or authority and public. There's good ways and bad ways to #resist, be it overt or covert @vivianagalleno

#oub329 #wk14 would argue that there's more #leadershipchallenges than #tame #wicked and #critical but I can see the thinking behind the three categories. There's some #emotive challenges which are seriously wicked and require some creative management to solve... @vivianagalleno

#oub329 #wk12 so who can say they've only ever managed with a 'positive-sum' approach? I bet it's less than I anticipate! #management #collaboration @vivianagalleno

#oub329 #wk11 Conflict in a business can be seen as inevitable. The challenge is resolving the conflict. From a personal point of view, it's nearly impossible to placate everyone! @vivianagalleno

#oub329 #wk10 - Catching up! I've been so ill over the last couple of weeks! Follower based leadership seems very idealistic. It assumes all followers will 'suss' out a poor leader and vote him out, recent events may suggest otherwise! #politics @VivianaGalleno

#oub329 #wk9 I enjoyed this piece about #collaborative #leadership I'd like to describe my leadership style as collaborative, I'm certainly not direct! Sometimes this can have its weaknesses though. @VivianaGalleno

#oub329 #wk9 who'd have thought I'd have been analysing Abraham Lincoln's leadership style during my @OpenUniversity studies? Certainly not myself. His leadership style is humbling, though. @VivianaGalleno

#oub329 #wk8 interesting reading about Blanchard et al's (1985) leadership styles. I think I could be more direct sometimes. I also think it's important to be supportive. @VivianaGalleno

#oub329 #wk7 I think I could take some lessons from this week, and learn how to manage my reactions in high-intensity situations @vivianagalleno

#oub329 #wk7 The video talking about dealing with #difficult people was interesting. It's a good idea to look internally, and it's important to be able to take a stand without steamrollering or sugar coating! @vivianagalleno

#whatilearned #wk7 #oub329 is that a leader can have many identities. The important thing is to #motivate a team and #inspire success. @vivanagalleno

#whatilearned this week with #oub329 #wk5 was how to properly structure a captivating blog post. I did not realise blogging was as in depth as it is! #mindblown I'm having a great time coming up with headlines though, can't wait to #blog for #tma01 @vivianagalleno

#oub329 I chose this image from @HarvardMagazine because it explains the concept of austerity with no (ok, few) words. It's exactly what comes to mind when someone says about austerity cuts #wk5 @vivianagalleno
