What went well?
The progress I made; what was achieved and done
I have completed my LiA! Although we did not completely achieve all our goals regarding the impressions on our social media account, us and our volunteers created some informative post about recycling and plastic waste in Hong Kong. I attempted to interact more with the volunteers but many had prior commitments which limited the progress we made
What could have been done differently?
Things that did not get done and/or could be changed
Due to the social distancing and COVID regulations, there were a few action campaigns we did not get to do. Hence, it would be great to conduct this in the future to see its impact.
What did I learn about myself when working with others?
Contributions, behaviours and values I exhibited
I learnt that I need to have a positive mindset when working in order to be more creative and to maintain a good mental health. Thinking in a positive manner helped me be more productive, and also maintain a lively atmosphere for the volunteers.
What did I learn about leadership?
Leadership attributes and insights I developed
As a leader, I learnt that having a clear plan when managing teams. Since I somewhat relied on discussions and self-motivation with regards to creating the instagram post, some volunteers eventually lost productivity and worked when I initiated task. Therefore, I also need to learn the different working methods of my team to increase efficiency.
