Leadership

This past week we have been discussing leadership in group work. I have grown up participating in several different leadership organizations such as 4H, FFA, and other classes both in high school and at Purdue. I think that the most important asset of being a leader is serving. I do not think an effective leader is one who directs or organizes a group. I think a leader is one who leads by service, and the rest of the group follows. By service, I mean doing the same amount of work, if not more, than the rest of the group members.
On Friday we had a work day for our group's final presentation. We are coming along nicely, and have a rough draft of slides created. I think the biggest challenge our group faces in this presentation is filling the time slot. I do not foresee any problems covering the material required for the presentaion. I think with a few more work days though we will be able to come up with enough matieral to speak about in class.
