edition 20- ah haa

Its quite late in the piece to be adding a blog but have just finished Part B and have to say that it was quite the Ahh haa of the assignments. In a way i should have payed more attention to the Standards (ALIA/ALSA 2004) early on - I had perused them but not deeply engaged with them until required to do so for the assignment. On completing it I feel i have a much greater understanding of the TL role and the elements it takes to be a great TL. On top of that i now really appreciate what an effective tool the Standards can be in providing a framework and guidance for TLs.
