Going in your direction, here're my "real" examples of "leadership" and "teamwork".

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Leadership: using effective reward to motivate subordinates.

My 5-year old refuses to eat lunch at school. He doesn't like the food: sandwich, lasagna, macaroni, salad, etc. Also he is used to being fed at home but nobody feeds him at school.

One day, he fell in love with a Transformer backpack at a store. I said no. But he kept asking. Sensing he's a little crazy about it, I told him that if he eats lunch at school for a week, he'd get the backpack.

Next 5 days, he indeed ate everything at school: sandwich, lasagna, macaroni, even salad. He got his backpack on the weekend. To my delight, he kept eating lunch ever since.

Teamwork: compromise with team members. Accept the negative, appreciate the positive.

My wife is a little disorganized. She leaves the light on, the drawers open, and things everywhere. She loses things often. Instead of arguing with her or trying to change her, I accepted her the way she is. I pick up after her. I watch out for her credit cards. Happily. Why? Because she has a lot of positives. She's a good worker around the house, fast and effective. She's even a handyman (or woman). I'm very clumsy so I really appreciate it when she puts up a curtain or changes a shower head or hooks up the karaoke machine.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

    • good article. continue..
      • Based on the last paragraph of the article, it was for mikesmith to pick up from there!:-)
        • something is better left unsaid.
      • 谢老猫大度。
    • waiting for more...
    • Bravo! ... from a loyal wincity fan. Just to contribute another useful example -- when you are asked about your leadership experience, here's how you could respond:
      I have been a parent of (n) children for years!
      • Very weak example.
        • How about this one then? When asked about team-work/inter-person skills, one could reply:
          Are you kidding me? I have been living with a picky wife (grumpy husband) for (n) years and we are still together!

          - where n > 10 at least, to make the case stronger.
          • You and your wife do some type of team work that other people typically don't do at work.
          • Neither of your "examples" is an example.
          • Besides, neither is convicing. It's like saying I'm a good employee because I've worked for the same employer for N years (where N > 10). A not-so-good employee could also have lasted that long. Even a bad employee.

      • Confirmed. We now have the second LEADER.
        • more like we have a second daddy and husband at work.
          • Interesting. Are you saying "夫唱妇随"?
            • maybe office affairs are good example of team work?
              • Possible but only to certain extend I guess.
