Feedback 1

My captain life has just started from yesterday. On January 17, cheerleading club Angels begun to the first practice  of this year. I was very naive the day before yesterday. It was the first time for me to be leader. 

                                   This orange person is me:*)
However I'm learning the leadership!! I put some strategy into the practice. At first, I tried to share information to others. I told 18 (ichihachi) members what we, executive members decided during winter  vacation. I share message  with other 17 members 

Also I tried to involve everyone  in the meeting, which we did before the practice. To tell the truth, every member is active and speaks opinions voluntary, but I pick up some opinions consciously. 

Some strategy I did not do that. Really, there were more things that I couldn't do than what I could. For example, I could not find good solution when a certain stunts failed. A member looked loosing confidence. I was aware that, but I could not do anything for her at that time. 

Now I make new practice menu like she and other members  get back confidence. 
Still I'd like to be able to change the bad mood. I tend to give up and rely on others soon, but I have to change such my attitude as a leader. 

There are many things that I can't yet, but be optimistic! I try and try and try! I make effort to be better!

  1. Hi Mizuki! I am glad to hear your feedback of the first day your leadership. It is just very beginning, so you do not have to worry. I sure that you will do well because of your positive thinking! And it is very nice that you could try to be aware of team's feeling well. Keep going!

  2. Hi Mizuki,

    Thanks for both your proposal and for sharing your initial experiences as leader of the cheerleaders. Yes, be optimistic and ... as Amy Cuddy says, "Fake it until you make it," or better, "Fake it until you become it." Remember, they would not have chosen you if they did not believe you were the right one.

    Keep us posted. I look forward to hearing how you find your confidence as you get more experienced.
