Leadership without defined tasks is chaos.

Again class was interesting due to the lack of instruction. All through college, students have gone through semesters with structured courses where the whole semester is outlined and discussed in the syllabus. I believe that this course is trying to get students to go against the norm and not be so structured. I think it is good for students to have a course like this because it helps us be more flexible and learn how to adjust. Especially when it comes to leadership, individuals need to learn how to be able to adjust to different situations. The leadership that was displayed in class was good and bad. I do think it was hard to lead the class today due to the fact that the individual that stood up had no authority or idea what they were to accomplish. It is hard to lead others when the leader does not know their intended goal and tasks. The class had a combination of leaders and individuals that would follow but overall the whole class period was chaotic. Through the semester it will be interesting to see the dynamics of the class continue to evolve.
