Have you celebrating yourself lately? Think of a great idea or deed from this past week -- say it out loud three times. Then enjoy your leadership grow! When you celebrate yourself, you are leading yourself and setting an example for those around you.
Week 9 is due today.
You continue to develop your leadership skills -- you will get out of this course what you put in so be sure you are open to growth. If you see the class only as something to do to get a grade, you are not growing. Embrace the course you will reap the rewards.
Got missing work? Previous weeks remain open. Remember that Weeks 1-8 will close March 5 (which is 2 days from today) so use your time wisely if you need to complete missing work.
When you complete your weekly assignments, it is important to make connections to the world around you. Here are two current articles to help you make those connections:
- This week you have been learning that failure is a teacher. But what if it is not? Read this Washington Post article to see the flip side of failure and one opinion about how it negatively affects your generation. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/answer-sheet/wp/2012/10/04/do-kids-really-learn-from-failure-why-conventional-wisdom-may-be-wrong/ (Links to an external site.)
- Review the 10 Worst Presidents at http://www.usnews.com/news/history/features/the-10-worst-presidents (Links to an external site.). Do you agree with the assessment? Do you consider any of those listed as having overcome failure? How do the leadership lessons you are have learned relate to the past presidents? How do the lessons relate to this year's presidential candidates?
