Using Our Strengths

We all have things we are good at or do well. As a team, it is important that we utilize each others strength. Tell us about one of your strengths and how it will be useful in this class. Make sure you come back at the end of the week and read everyones post. We will play a game with this information. There is no length requirement, just make sure you have a COMPLETE response.

Taylor, Kanye and Obama

Movie stars, singers, the President are all leaders in our society. Being a leader doesn't mean that everyone will always agree with your decisions but you do have to be RESPONSIBLE for your decisions and actions. Below you are going to watch three videos. The first video is of the VMAs when Kayne West takes the microphone away from Taylor Swift. Give me your reaction to the clip. This part of your response should include a main idea and supporting evidence.

The second video clip is a slide show with President Obama talking in the background. He was talking casually with the press and was asked his opinion about the incident. As the leader of our country do you think his comment was appropriate? Why or Why not?

The third video is of Beyonce's acceptance speech. How did Beyonce demonstrate good leadership and how did she demonstrate bad leadership? (Use both the first clip and third clip to answer this question.)

This video is no longer available. If you saw what happened please comment. If you don't know what Beyonce did then you don't have to comment.

Leadership Qualities

In your opinion, what is the most important leadership trait a good leader should have? Your response should include the trait, a definition(in your own words), and 2-3 sentences about why your think it is the most important trait. Also tell me if you think this trait can be taught/learned. I know it is hard to pick just one trait, because a good leader should have a lot of traits. Your response must be posted by Friday, Sept 18th @ midnight. Happy blogging.

What do you think so far?

The first two weeks of school have come and gone extremely quickly. Unfortunately with the Leadership class there is no time for any getting to know you stuff, we have to jump right in to event planning, poster making, working in the student store and more. Let me tell you a little secret... it doesn't end until June 10th.
I am sure many of you are feeling overwhelmed, or maybe you are excited about being part of everything that is going on. Tell me what you think about the leadership class so far. Don't worry about hurting my feelings. Just be honest. Your post should be about 4-5 sentences long. Then ask one question about the class. The question can be to me or to the leadership students from last year. Happy blogging! Your post is due by Sept 11th at midnight.
