Joshita, I loved your thoughtful definition of perseverance.
Amaris, thank you for sharing your exceptional example of sacrifice on the Padlet last week!
Today you will start Week 13! It will be due next Monday, November 28. Remember that although NCVPS will not be officially open on Thursday and Friday this week, you will still have access to the course. Plan according to your holiday plans.
This week we will be discussing how good leaders have good COMMUNICATION. Below is an excerpt out of Forbes Magazine about how Abraham Lincoln was able to use communication in order to show his leadership potential.
“Consider the powerful example of President Abraham Lincoln as he delivered a historic two-minute speech in 1863 at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. In the midst of the Civil War, he stood where many had died to consecrate their final resting places and to exhort all Americans to continue the fight for the survival of representative democracy, that the “government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” He also reminded his audience of the adopted principles established by the Founding Fathers of human equality and the overarching need to preserve the Union. In a few brief moments, with dignity and wisdom, he spoke clearly to the nation about its dark condition and its bright future. He invited all to stand together in the great cause of humanity. Fortunately, we are the beneficiaries of an inspired leader who knew how to communicate to his people.” (The Top Communication Traits of Great Leaders by Alan Hall)
As we go through this week, think about the leaders in our country, school, towns,sports teams, etc. Are they good communicators? What makes them exceptional? Do you possess those great communication traits?
