Leadership, Thursday, Period 1, Class 8 (10/30/08)

"Once you've defined the problem you need to develop an action plan," Nathan said as he passed around that week's handouts. "Your action plan is the steps you are going to take in order to solve this problem. Today I want you to get into groups and develop an action plan to solve a problem.

"The problem is this: As a group, you want to convince me not to give you guys a final exam. Put your heads together - not literally - and come up with a plan for how you're going to convince me to do that. For the record, the odds that I'm going to agree with you are pretty small, but for the sake of the class let's see what you come up with."

Nathan grinned at them. "I'm here if you have any questions."

"Maybe it would be easier to have a nice relaxing day?" Teddy suggested.

"We've only got his best interests at heart," and at that Bender snickered.

Momoko raised an eyebrow. "Uhm. How about, does he have the authority to give us one? I mean, did we ever actually declare him the leader on that first day? I can't remember."

"I can't recall it either," Teddy replied. "And, even if we did, I think the point of the class is to lead him by the end, so what better way than to set the rules of our final?"

Momoko nodded. "Though saying that we should set the rules of our own final implies we will still have a final. Which would be a compromise, right? Is compromise still leadership?"
