Leadership
Time - 2 hours
Objective - Create a Presentation.
Each learner will choose a subject previously discussed in the Leadership Course, such as leadership traits, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, Bass' Theory of Leadership, etc. One or more learners may pick the same chapter from the Leadership guide, but they must choose a separate subject.
Have them prepare a 5 to 10 minute presentation on the subject. Their outline should include:
- The objective
- The body with at least three main points.
- A visual aid - such as a flip chart
- Closing
Preparing the outline should take about 1 hour. The visual aid may be prepared in advance, such as a chart, or developed throughout the presentation.
The next hour is for practicing the presentation. Divide the class into small groups consisting of two or three individuals. Have them practice giving and critiquing their presentations. Use the following guidelines for critiquing:
- Provided objective
- Presented all information with a voice that was pleasing and could be heard
- Used visual device effectively
- Closing - gave summary and asks for questions

After the learners have prepared their presentation, they will give them to the class. Bring the small groups back together and have the individuals present their subjects to the class. Unlike the practice sessions, the critiques this time will focus on strengths. This is a time of celebration!
