Workforce Wednesday: Leadership 💼⭐

Your future employers are looking for leaders. Good leaders have the ability to influence and guide others in a positive way. John Maxwell says “ A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way.”

Be a positive leader to those you interact with everyday.

Great leaders inspire, communicate, take responsibility, and lead by example. Leadership is a skill that makes a difference in every workplace!

Ms Boyd’s students at Oak Mountain Middle School had a fun, hands-on day focused on communication, teamwork, and leadership! Students participated in Fishbowl and Taboo challenges, where communication was limited and creative thinking was key.
The bellringer challenge had students work together to line themselves up in birth order, giving them another opportunity to problem-solve and communicate.
It was great to see natural leaders emerge, students work together, and teams find creative ways to communicate! What a fun day of learning! 👏✨
