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

"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."

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

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.
