Leadership Quest
One week: July 13-19, 2008
Leadership Quest is a fun-filled, action-packed, five-day program for high school students who wish to learn, experience, and model effective group behavior. Through discussions, demonstrations, games, simulations, and exercises, you'll learn about various leadership styles and be able to identify your own leadership style. You'll learn to differentiate among the various individual roles of group members and you'll understand the important elements of group problem-solving. You'll be able to compare and contrast the various results of decision-making by consensus building and to demonstrate the knowledge and benefits of trust building in small groups by using such skills as self-disclosure and risk-taking. You'll learn the importance of cooperation in small groups and you'll find out how to provide motivation, feedback, and delegation.
