Thank you for the feedback so far. I run into the problem that I have mentors in the "students can hold the screwdriver and watch while I build a robot" camp, the "mentors are just there to keep you from hurting yourself" camp, and everywhere in between. In the past few years everyone just kind of did their own thing and we found ourselves somewhere in the middle (which is where I want to be anyway). Not being on the same page causes conflict, but not to the point that we don't function, and GP still prevails in our interactions.

I think I need to play the "benevolent dictator" card since leadership by committee isn't getting decisions made. I need to make the best decisions I can with their advice of the other mentors in mind, and go with what I think everyone can live with. I also liked what I read about writing my thoughts out before presenting them. I know that I am a better writer than speaker.

In other words, I need to introvert less hard.
