Leadership Ladder and the Beliebers

It was great to see everyone on Thursday.  And so heartwarming to hear that a few of you worked on or thought about assignments from class.  I hope you all at least have ideas about what you want your activity to LOOK like.

We will spend the next two weeks really NAILING down plans for your event assignments.  You need to choose a date, time, committees, etc.  The more you have planned and decided, the smoother the future planning and implementation will be.  Be a decision maker this week!!!  It's your activity and your VISION.

As for Thursday's class, we discussed the steps of the leadership ladder.

We have all been designated "THE BOSS" simply by signing up for this leadership class.  Now the responsibility to move up the steps is in your hands.  I hope you all identified with the steps in some way, either in your own leadership experience or as a follower of a leader.  Take an inventory of your relationships with the people around you.  Are you a leader to them?  Do you follow them?  How can you improve this relationship?

By the end of the year, I want you to recognize yourself as a leader of FILA, not just as a boss!

For homework, you were each given an assignment that essentially will help you work on your leadership relationships with FILA.  Here are the assignments:

1)

Adam - Introduce yourself to 5 people from FILA that you don't know.  Find out their names and something about them.

Katie - Assist two FILA mentors ( this can also extend to FILAP mentors.)

Morgan - Read the FILA Constitution and develop a quiz to give to your fellow leadership students.

Jared - Talk to 3 FILA students and ask them what their favorite classes have been and why.

Logan - Talk to 3 students about the activity you are planning.  Get their input.

Trey - Go help with recess duty.  Initiate a game with a group of kid.

Eric - Write a thank you letter to a mentor you have had.  Tell them why you appreciate them and what they have taught you.

You are NOT allowed to use your family members for this challenge!!!!! 

You will be reporting your results to class!  I want to hear names and details!!! : )

2)

READ THE FILA CONSTITUTION - You will have to take the quiz Morgan creates.  The highest scorer gets a PRIZE!

3)

Complete the first two columns on your Project/Event Planning Process worksheet.  This is VITAL to this week's class!

4)

For those of you in 3rd hour, FINISH YOUR SPEECHES!!!! (Yes, that is me yelling that assignment.)

And lastly, Morgan, we missed you dreadfully.  Please come back soon. 

Thanks, everyone!  Have a fantastic week.
