As a leader, I must encourage curiosity and the constant interest to learn and grow. I am aware that I do not have all the answers but it is important to be honest in that fact. It is necesary to show that I am willing to admit that I do not have the answer but my priotity is to find the answers.
The importance of learning from failure!
Good leadership involves allowing students to become aware of their strengths and weaknesses. As students grow personally, professionally, and academically leadership traits, skills and ability will become known. By observing, accessing and coaching an instructor or facilitator can guide the leadership growth process.
I have confirmed my existintg view of leadership, which is that it involves empowering others to achieve a common goal. Leadership is about "we," not "mew."
The work force needs leadership and important to emphasize to Students that their leadership no mattater their role in the workplace will help them professionally. Consitantly knowing where an organization is going, how they plan to get there, and what part do you play is a good start to becomming an effective leader.
The value of joining professional organizations is useful to a student in building those professional connections early on.
Teacher leadership in all my CTE classes and allow students to fail so they can learn.
So far I have learned about the importance of teaching leadership skills to students from the get-go, and not to delay this important aspect of career readiness. I intend to apply it by changing how I set-up the group projects in my classes.
