Some of my greatest attributes include searching or imagine the best solution and making it happen, staying focused at the topic at hand, following through with projects or something I have committed to, and giving as much as I possibly can to be the best person I can be for myself and the group.

In other words, the discourses through languages and images produced “meaningful knowledge” about the Others, and the Others is categorized

This course has also expanded on different aspects of adaptive leadership such as: disequilibrium, diversity, running experiments, and the four KLC competencies of civic leadership. Two of the biggest takeaways I have gained through course are being able to tell a technical problem from an adaptive problem, and learning of the four KLC competencies.
