A student who develops these six essential skills will increase his or her personal confidence. For many teenagers, lack of confidence is a major factor in their seemingly complacent attitude. Increasing confidence will improve their performance in almost everything they do. An effective young leader will lay the groundwork for many future successes. By developing leadership skills at a young age, students will have a head start on their careers.
Professional success is often a result of the development of leadership skills early in life.
If students master the six essential leadership skills, they will be more effective in performing their duties for their current employers. Last, students who develop these skills will perform more effectively in the classroom. They will be more focused and better able to manage their time. They will understand the importance of acquiring knowledge, and they will apply the knowledge they gain in the classroom to the rest of their lives. With this in mind, we hope to move forward and develop a leadership development program that will fit the needs of all DECA members.
