Leadership, Thursday, Period 1, Class 9 (11/6/08)

[1petrelli1.livejournal.com]

"Today we're talking about diplomacy," Nathan said as he passed around the related handouts. "As a leader you're going to have to deal with people who don't like you very much. Some say that's a good sign that you're doing your job." Nathan flashed a grin at his students.

"Diplomacy is the talent that allows you to get what you want without the other person feeling badly about it. Read through the handout, then we're going to work on the class exercise.

"I want you to pair up. One of you wants help moving. The other doesn't want to do it. Use the listed skills of tact, body language, and diplomatic suggestion to see which one of you gets what you want without the other person resenting you.

"I'm here if you have any questions."

During the Lecture

[1petrelli1.livejournal.com]

Listen, take notes, talk amongst yourselves.

Hinata was frowning, a bit thoughtfully, as she listened to the lecture.

Joan took notes.

Agnes took notes. This was DEFINITELY something important to learn.

Re: During the Lecture

[solo_sword]

Hm. Jaina was going to suck at this, she could see it now.

Re: During the Lecture

[imcalledandros.livejournal.com]

Andros took down notes, he knew this was going to come in handy some day.

Momoko took detailed notes on this one because, yeah, diplomacy was not one of her leadership strengths. Of course, it was hard to be a diplomatic leader when you're still trying to convince the rest of the team that you are the leader.

Pair up!

[1petrelli1.livejournal.com]

Find a diplomatic way to get what you want.

Re: Pair up!

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

Joan looked for a partner.

Re: Pair up!

[finding-x-dream.livejournal.com]

Agnes shrugged at her. "Would you like to be partners?"

Re: Pair up!

[athosborn.livejournal.com]

Teyla looked around to see if anyone wanted to pair up.

Re: Pair up!

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Ooh, diplomacy! Turtle glanced around for a partner, trying to decide which side she wanted to take.

Talk with Nathan

[1petrelli1.livejournal.com]

It's arguable if he's any good at diplomacy.

Talk to Meg!

[1petrelli1.livejournal.com]

Once she pings in.

Re: Talk to Meg!

[meg-powers.livejournal.com]

Meg was here for all your TA needs.

OOC!

[1petrelli1.livejournal.com]

Going to be out most of the morning tomorrow, so posting now.

[momslilassassin]

Plz to excuse Ben from class today, as he is at a funeral.

Woe.

Re: OOC!

[1petrelli1.livejournal.com]

Understood! Nathan will want to talk with him next week, if possible.

Re: OOC!

[momslilassassin]

Of course!

Re: OOC!

[endsthegame]

And Ender's not around either, on account of accompanying someone to a funeral. Alas!
