I was needed to seek and assess data and to communicate my understanding to others and this was when I was in a group of four individuals in the course of my final year project. I was responsible for gathering data and relevant project information from the internet and documenting it using my individual assessment. I had to communicate my understanding of what I had gathered from my internet search to the rest in order for them to continue with the next project steps. I handled the main portion of the project that entailed collecting the correct and most relevant data, and providing precise interpretations to the members of my group; this was a crucial part for the project's overall success. If I provided the wrong information and wrong interpretation, the next project parts would have all gone to waste, ending up in a disastrous project for the entire group accompanied by a poor grade for each of us.

The decision for me to gather data and communicate my interpretation to the members of the group came from all of us in the very first meeting of the group. We determined the best individual at performing particular tasks and who would be fulfilling which type of responsibilities. I stated that my research skills are good; thus, all of us agreed to assign me the task of gathering and analyzing data together with providing interpretations to the rest of the group members.

Blog articles were also helpful as various writers have put down different thoughts regarding this leader, from those employees that worked for him. Additionally, I also attempted to search for various aspects that I may have not picked up on the internet and for that reason I purchased a book authored by Walter Isaacson. My reason for selecting this particular book was that Steve Jobs personally asked Walter Isaacson to write a biography on him in his last days. Steve Jobs was ailing from cancer and knew that he just had a few days left. I imagined that this would be a close encounter with Steve Jobs in the form of Walter's work.

I immediately knew what any particular information meant as soon as I observed the name of 'Steve Jobs' on any research finding or article. I knew it was relevant to our project, and thus began gathering the needed information. I skimmed for data and searched for the most relevant topics and their details in the journals. It was quite easy to choose the evidence on which I had to ground my actions. For instance, I wrote "leadership traits of Steve Jobs" on Google and numerous articles and journals appeared on the search results. Every article associated with Steve Jobs was presented with a tiny description of the article immediately below it. I read the description together with the words that I had fed in the Google search bar and got displayed in bold letters. If I noticed the boldest alphabets…
