The overall goal of this collection of projects was for us to gain a better understanding of what a leader was. We were able to do this by first breaking down the characters that make up a leader. We then were tasked with making a presentation of people or characters that we felt were inspirational leaders. Finally, we were tasked with creating a leadership activity that we would conduct with a group of our class. Putting all of this together, it was meant to show what a true leader was and how we could make ourselves into these kinds of successful leaders.
Leadership Traits
Leadership Traits
When begin this lesson we spoke about very important traits of a leader. These traits included confidence, humor, creativity, inspiration, communication, honest positivity, commitment, intuition, and delegation. These were the main focus points of our leadership projects and the traits we wanted to try and incorporate into our own leadership style. These traits all tie together and help to create an overall positive attitude for the group and get all the group's members involved while actually getting the work done. It allows you group to trust in you and see you as a reliable leader which is what you want to happen.
Leadership Styles
Leadership Styles
As for the different styles of leaders there are delegative, democratic, transactional, transformative, authoritarian, and situational. A delegation leader is a leader who gives individuals of a group a piece of the project and then sends them on their own ways. This type of leader would check in after that and hopes the group can just piece together, they assigned parts. On the other hand, a democratic leader is a leader that works with their group and makes sure that the project is all a collaborative effort. Although they take everyone's opinion into consideration, their word is the final say. A transaction leader is a leader that sees the project as a business transaction. An example of this would be a leader who works with a group and is will reap the benefits from the completion of the project because they are the leader, but the group members also benefit because of the experience they gained along the way. A transformative leader is a leader that can invite change or transforms the way people think. This leader is able to convince groups of people that their ideas is for the better of the group and get them to follow his ways. Authoritive leaders are single leaders whose decision is the end all be all. They don't take into account the opinions of their group members and think their way is the only way to go. Finally, we have situational leaders. These are the type of leaders that leadership style changes dependent upon the situtaion they are in. For example, a leader that can tak diffenet roles depending on their group. If they have a group that isn't vey involved, they can take up a more authoritarian type style and pusb the members twoards working. They are the type pf person that can adapt to any situation and apply themselves in the way they see fit.

Leadership Presentation
Leadership Presentation
The goal of this presentation was to choose a person who we felt showed good traits of being a leader. The slideshow I created presents the leadership traits of Jack Skellington from the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas. Jack demonstrated important characteristics such as being inspiring, curious, committed, humorous, and confident, which a leader needs to be successful. Assessing his personality and character, it was determined that Jack was an authoritarian leader who took control of others and followed his own goals with little to no regard for other's opinions unless they aligned with his own.
Leadership Activity
Leadership Activity
For this activity, we needed to create a scenario that would bring out the leadership and cooperation of different types of leaders. For my group's exercise, we made a situation where two groups of our choice would answer set riddles within a time limit. The group that answered the most riddles correctly in the shortest amount of time was the winner of the game. When considering what groups would participate in the game, we wanted to make a success group and a failure group. The success group would be able to demonstrate a group that worked well together and the fail group was to show a group that wasn't well suited to each other and was thought to fail the challenge in the presence of the other group. Then we round off the activity with follow-up questions about how the groups did.
