1. What happened?

(Background, brief description of events, specific leadership

actions)

In my previous job, the team consisted of 5 people with one supervisor who was in charge of
us. When I joined the company and was still on training, our boss asked for a report and
presentation from the colleague who was teaching me on the job, so he put me to do other
tasks while he did what was requested. He sent it and then he was called back for the
presentation which was unformatted, messy and incomplete.

For my part, I took the initiative and told him that I could help with the design and content,
showing my proactive side, commitment to work and empathy with helping my colleague,
regardless of the fact that it was not my responsibility.

2. What were the results? (Real or potential. Try to include both positive and
negative possibilities. Even if the event seemed clearly good or bad, consider
unintended consequences.) good or bad

The results were positive, our boss congratulated me for my initiative and thanked me for
helping him. From that moment, they asked me for support with the design of all the
presentations to be able to present it to the company's directors.

Although there could have been consequences such as confusing the data, not ordering the
content of the presentation correctly or being scolded for taking a little longer on what I
should have been doing originally, I took the risk and everything went well.

3. Why did this happen? (Consider all possible factors, including the people and
the situation)

This happened because of a lack of preparation and motivation of colleagues to deliver

things faster regardless of quality, so I pushed them to improve although I was new to the
job.

4. What class concepts are relevant to this situation? (Mention at least one
concept from class and how they can be used to interpret the situation.)

This is a clear example of organizational citizenship behavior because my action was not
intended to be recognised individually, it was to help my team, strengthening our partnership
and promoting efficiency in the organization without the need to be rewarded.

5. What did you learn from this? (Broader lessons that might apply to other
situations or problems.)

Taking the initiative to lead even if it is not in your role can be beneficial to the productivity of
the organization and improve the working environment, helping your colleagues to look
good. At the end of the day, if you do your job well and make your design or other skills
known, you will be recognised.
