Kudos to Jaia for taking advantage of previous weeks being open!
Way to go, Brandon! He went above and beyond in this week's discussion board -- way to problem-solve!
Week 8 is tonight by midnight. Remember the weekend grace period exists to help you manage crazy weeks - let me know if you have questions.
Be sure to read the separate announcement about NCVPS Spirit Week!
Got missing work? Previous weeks remain open. Remember that Weeks 1-8 will close March 5 so use your time wisely if you need to complete missing work.
Ready, learn, lead!
Leaders get tested during natural disasters. What are the qualities a leader should possess to handle a crisis such as Hurricane Matthew?
In Eric Stein's article "Crisis Leadership: The 4 Keys to Preparing," he explains that handing any crisis is a combination of preparation as well as strong leadership in the moment. He goes on to say:
"When we judge our leaders’ and their organizations’ performance as crisis managers, it is important not only to look at how they rose (or failed to rise) to the challenge on “game day,” but also to what extent they empowered and prepared their followers, partners and citizens long before the moment of crisis. "
