Greetings, leaders! As you continue with Week 3, I hope you are using some of the time management strategies you learned in Module 3. Summer moves very quickly, doesn't it!

Although I will post a regular announcement so you can stay on track and the course will be open (the joy of online!), July 4th is considered an NCVPS holiday so I will be taking the day off to spend with my family.
Important Due Dates:
- Progress Report Thursday, July 5
- Module 5 & 6 Friday, July 6
- Module 7 Wednesday, July 11
- Progress Report Thursday, July 12

Lesson 2's purpose is to help you lead through difficult relationships. You have been introduced to several types of relationships -- taker, investor, lifter, etc. These relationships are the same in all areas of your life, however, they are sometimes called by different names. Click on this article to learn about the seven dwarfs of relationships as well as some of their motivations for their behaviors. The more you understand about types of relationships, the better you will be able to lead and coach the members of any group:
Today's Assignments:
- Module 5 Lesson 2 Notes - Check Your Knowledge

Lesson 2 is Connecting with Others. The topics for notes include the following: Relationships, What is a Relationship?, As a leader, how important are relationships?, As a leader, how do you build relationships?, and As a leader, which relationships should you value most? As a leader, how can you connect with others? Be sure to read the directions before you go through the notes. Guided notes are recommended to help you process the content. Feel free to attach them when you post your CYK results. After taking the CYK, screenshot your results along with the last question so that it is clear which quiz you took.
Module 5 Lesson 2 Assignment - Create a Team-Building Activity
For Module 2 Lesson 2 Assignment, you will read about a dysfunctional group and then create a team-building activity to help that group become more functional. Use what you learned about different relationships to identify the group members' types and then design an activity to meet as many of their needs as possible. You are creating a team-building activity to help the group deal with its communication problems. First read about the team (Cindy, Andy, etc). For relationship types, consider the ones from the lesson - naysayer, etc. For leadership strategies, use what you have learned in Module 5 like initiate the investment and/or ones you have learned from past modules like democratic, laissez-faire, etc. Then explain your activity (even though this is the last part of the template, it is easier to explain it first so you can be sure you are doing an activity and not just asking the group to sit down and talk). For team-building activity ideas, just google "team-building activity for communication." Then write at least 3 SMART or CLEAR goals that address what the group will get out of the activity. Now go back and fill in your rules (these are things like what members can and cannot do during activity ex. device use) and your guidelines (the steps members should follow to complete the activity). Fill in the other parts of the template and submit:) I cannot wait to read your solution for leading difficult relationships! If you use outside resources, be sure to cite them correctly. If you do not use outside resources, say so.
