Jaana´s story as the OGX TTÜ Team Leader

I decided to apply because I love challenges. Also I really started to love AIESEC and I wanted to go to the next level. At first I was really afraid as I didn`t saw leader in me, I have never even thought about this idea (me leading a team). Later when I really got into planning my next term in AIESEC I realized that I want to do something different in order to grow. I started to think what qualities I need to be a good leader and I thought that I should try this position (or at least apply for the TL position) as I love communicating with other people, I knew already some stuff about AIESEC to pass on, I was eager to learn and of course I liked to get challenges. Luckily I was selected :))
First thing when I started my term was creating a plan for the new term - setting goals and job descriptions for team members. When I got people in my team I needed to create a team spirit. I got to know my team members and all of them were so cool people! We started to plan our team goals and I explained how are we going to work.
After this year I can really see the power behind teamwork, how it is done when the whole team is working in order to achieve team goals. As a leader I know what it means to lead by an example.
