“The Leadership Advantage” is a transformational leadership course designed to help students understand that everything in life rises or falls based on leadership. Leadership will affect every area of their lives. It shapes every relationship, decision, opportunity, direction, and outcome depending on the quality of leadership being exercised.
Most people go through life without ever being intentionally taught how to lead themselves or others well. As a result, they often experience unnecessary conflict, lack of direction, broken communication, poor decision-making, weak discipline, and missed opportunities. This course is designed to change that trajectory by helping students recognize both the power of strong leadership and the consequences of poor leadership.
Students will learn foundational leadership principles such as vision, responsibility, communication, integrity, discipline, initiative, teamwork, decision-making, and servant leadership. More importantly, they will be challenged to develop the character, mindset, and habits necessary to lead themselves well before attempting to lead others.
The course is intentionally practical and reflective, helping students identify real-life leadership opportunities and apply what they learn in meaningful ways. Students will complete a personalized leadership project designed to strengthen initiative, planning, communication, and follow-through in an area of their own life, family, school, or community.
