Peer Leadership

As always, it’s hard to take direction and instruction from a peer. However, I admire Ryan’s ability to lead a team of peers, how he communicated his ideas and made sure to keep us up to date on our progress. From my perspective, it was sometimes hard to listen to Ryan tell me what work I should be doing. For Example ‘Hey Steve, I want you to finish the deck by this Friday’. Taking instructions from a peer is hard in itself, giving those instructions, I have found in the past, is much more difficult. The attitude and maturity Ryan expressed when giving directions was effective and positive, given in a manner of suggestion and asking instead of ordering and demanding.
