About the course
Learning to be an effective leader is one of the most important skills that students can learn in high school activities. To help students learn leadership skills, the NFHS has partnered with the Michigan High School Athletic Association to bring you this second course in our Student Leadership series: LEADING OTHERS.
This course will help you put your leadership skills into action! We will define the four leadership roles and share a range of key leadership skills for you to use in different situations. This course will compare and contrast effective and ineffective leadership strategies and challenge you to evaluate how you will navigate conflict situations as a leader. You will learn from the practical thoughts, advice, and experiences of other student athletes from around the country.
