The time that Jones failed was a time where she had made a tweet that ruffled some feathers for people and she got attacked for it and was called out her name and was told that she needed to go back to Africa and like a lot of derogatory terms that were made at her. She handled the situation by what she thought would be the best, which is ignoring the situation for a little while and then coming forward in a blog post and going over the controversy. She didn't say sorry which also might have left people a little unsatisfied with her coming forward, but she acknowledged the problem.

I'm not sure what this question is asking specifically but I think the community was affected by how Jones stepped forward and decided to come out with her publicity post and I think this enlarged her community, she realized that she does have a big audience and what she says may or may not affect them. This affected Jones as a leader because it gave her a new perspective that she does have a large audience and people do get their feelings hurt and she needs to take account for that. She also knows that you can make mistakes and you can learn from them to become Who You Are.

Opinion Based Questions: Your experiences, and thoughts after the reading

In your opinion, did the community respond appropriately to the failure Jones experienced? Explain why or why not - Provide text evidence from chapter to support answer:

In my opinion the community did not respond appropriately to the failure of Jones because I feel like people have the entitlement to their own opinions or anything they say. If it isn't too offensive or derogatory I feel like if people can make their own opinions, then other people can also make their opinions on how they feel about that opinion, but they shouldn't be calling people out their names or coming after them; people are human too.

This chapter can teach us the importance of partnership between a leader and a community by knowing that a leader has to understand their community first before they feel the need to say things that might come out as offensive to others and, communities need to understand that a leader can say what they want but it is your job to either keep following or leave the team if anything makes you feel uncomfortable, because you are entitled to the way you feel. Both sides need to understand each other before there is a broken “trust”.
