MY reactions：

It is so interesting to compare preparing a Thanksgiving dinner to managing a company. Indeed, neither of them is an easy task, both of which require a great number of endeavors. Starting from scratch ending up receiving applause is what a successful chief executive officer may go through.
According to this article, a host equal to a C.E.O. is supposed to start with a vision. As the Thanksgiving chief architect, one can ask himself what is his vision toward this special occasion.

Then try to have effective delegation focus on results, not methods,because in this way person responsible for the job can do whatever he wants.Most importantly,a praiseworthy leader should appreciate people publicly and never blame mistakes on others.
As for my own experience,taking charge of an activity really calls for a sharp mind.The arrangement of delegation is always bothersome.Take one for example.Once being under the pressure to perform a good play in my high school time,I kept asking people to fulfill something they could not do or not want to.Therefore, I was accused of a bossy leader, and the performance turned out to be a real sulks.In fact,delegation is a terrific way to develop people.I should have given them a chance to shine by asking them questions that allowed them to express their accomplishments .After all, a successful cooperation was all what we pursued. （257words）
