New Year, New Research

Hey guys, just trying to squeeze in a quick update about my senior project. So far during my break I've slept in, ate tons, and found some useful articles that kind of help me figure out my EQ (which reminds me, I need to update my header EQ). I checked out this book from the library called The Editor in Chief: A Management Guide for Magazine Editors. Long title. So the first few chapters talked about organization, but then I got to the middle of the book where it covers staff treatment and management. There was a chart/quiz kind of thing that was outlined to determine what kind of leading personality you have, and how you can utilize your strengths to help your staff. In my case, following the chart I found that I am a hands-on type of leader, meaning that I like to do and learn by example. So ways that I can help, say, the designing department, is by showing and creating an example of my own, explaining the process along the way. That way they can see how I did something and do it themselves (give or take a few changes to make it their own designs). I found that really interesting, and it kind of makes more sense now that I think about it. When I get back from break, I'll definitely try to lead like this in Yearbook. Anyways, that was a piece of research I really liked, and I thought I'd share it here.
