Class: Mon. Feb. 2

Today's class presented more leadership ideas. The commercials demonstrated ideas about knowing when to take a step back, take initiative, etc. It was interesting to see that there were many people that claimed they were leaders, but when questions were asked to spark discussion, no one raised their hands to speak.

The 20 sec. leadership pitches showed strong and weak leadership styles. I found it important to give examples with specific with numbers in order to make valid points. It is easier to visualize someones leadership progress when I am presented with numbers. I liked when people fully utilized all 20 seconds. If they finished sooner I wondered why they did not keep going. What would it say about a leader that did not use every asset given to them? Also, I liked it when people had something different to say. Give me a reason to want to pick you. Be specific. Be likable. Give me a reason to want to work for you.
