A huge aspect of leadership is thinking “outside the box” and using one’s own strengths to help benefit the task. First, complete the sentence, “A leader is ____” with a word or phrase that you believe is most important in regards to leadership.

In your group (or individually,) you will have 30 minutes to complete the sentence and create your representation. Be creative and play to your strengths!
Leadership is a skill that can be used directly or indirectly in many circumstances. Using the three topics provided, create a short (30 second- 1 minute) skit that shows an example of how leadership could be used in this situation.
