In Room24 we are finishing up a unit about leadership entitled Follow My Lead. (Information on our Leadership Summit here.) Students are working on answering four questions in the process of developing leadership skills. Each of the four questions is a separate post.
Room24 students: sign in and answer the questions as a comment, or ask a new question that comes to mind.
Visitors: Please answer the questions yourself, ask a question of my students or provide a comment about your own path to leadership
Our first question is this: What is leadership? What qualities do I already have that are similar to that of great leaders?
December 10th - Good responses to these questions. Here is the picture of all of the words people used to describe good leaders. Image courtesy of Wordle.net. (click on the image for full size view) --Mr. Lewis
