ReplyDeleteYou have to be able to adapt to changes because it happens so quickly and you have to be ready for them. To be more open to the different things that you do. Having a mix it up day in leadership class and have people sit next to different people.

ReplyDeletepeople can think of different solutions for one problem.
you can give each person the same problem and listen to their ways of solving this problem, because its likely that each person will have a different solution that can work for one problem.
Students can be givin a probelm that requires a solution and they must individually come up with that solution on their own, and then we can see how each students thoughts differ.

ReplyDeleteSurvival Skill #6
Accessing and Analyzing Information
“Access to information is of little use-and may even be dangerous- if we don’t know how to evaluate it.”
Survival Skill #6 is about that if you don’t know what your talking about its useless.

ReplyDeleteSurvival Skill #2: Collaboration Across Networks & Leading by Influence
This means to lead by influence rather than authority. For example, people should be leaders rather than being followers because the person in charge is not always right. We can further develop this skill by doing group projects and correcting people if they are wrong or if they need help. We could also get into groups and write down answers seperately on pieces of papers based off of a certain topic. After this, they could discuss each one and pick which one might be the best.
