GRAD 702 - Reflections Module 3 Concepts

I feel most comfortable the Competitive Lens and I feel least comfortable the Collobarative Lens. I am the kind a person or leader who is busy to analyze the problem and find out a way to solve the issue or the work is done. Worrying and dealing people's problem is my least concern. The four-lens perspective thought that I need to adopt every situation in order to get a solution for every problem.
I learned from my personal competence sort cards that my strenght is adopting new situation and simplifyind complex situation and have the work or task done regardless. My weakness is that I need improve on my business language fkuency and that I have to adopt adaptive decision making process.
I was approached by an old freind who was working with a group of Somali intellctuals and former politcians to help him organize a Somali Diaspora Conference in Columbus, OH. Ohio has has the second largest Somalis in US. I took the task and organized a mailing list for 13 like minded individuals included the freind who originally contacted me. We had exchanged ideas of why we want the conference ? who is going to attend ? what the selection will (criteria) be ? When agreed all of the above, then set the date. I did rented the conference hall, negotiated with the hotel and got group rate, prepared the packets with local host commitee. We sent invitations to 160 delagated from all over US and Canada and 152 attended. The conference on March 10-11, 2007 and it was the most succeful conference for the Somali Diaspora.
At the registration booth of the conference a gentlemen who is not invited showed up to attend when I told him that it was an invitation only, he became agitated and verbal. I took him to a side and asked why he wants to attend this particular meeting and he did not had an answer other that he was humiliated infront of others for refusing him to attend a Somali diaspora conference. I told him that if pays the registration fee and signs the code of conduct of the conference he will be allowed but if he violates the code of the conduct that I will have no option but to ask the security guard to remove him from the coneference and that he will loose his regsitration fees. He paid the fee and signed the code of of conduct and we allowed him to participate the conference.
