Leadership, Friday, 3rd Period
For the first time in weeks, class was back in a regular classroom. A regular classroom with a TV on. "When you think of leaders, it's usually the more glorious aspects of the position that you focus on. It's only natural. What people don't always consider is the amount of work that goes into it behind the scenes."
"Sports probably do the best job of spotlighting the work that goes into it. Whenever you hear about a quarterback's leadership qualities, it's inevitable that somebody will credit the time he spends in the film room watching video of his team and his opponent."
"And all of that is an introduction to a movie day," Scott said. "But to keep it from feeling like you're getting away with something easy, the movie is series of TED talks that should give you some extra information on theories behind leading and what you can really do."
"First we'll be watching an author, Simon Sinek, explaining how leaders can inspire action. Then Derek Sivers discussing how to start a movement, via a lone shirtless man dancing in public. And then finally, entrepreneur Seth Godwin on how the internet has created tribes which anyone can lead."
"If you have any questions, feel free to ask after each video."
