Effective Leadership Skills
Lesson Outline
Today's lesson wasn't productive or positive in the slightest. Henry refused to participate in any discussion, activity, or general dialogue which I attempted. Our interacts have deteriorated to the point of Henry speaking over me with "blahs", "borings", and "I-don't-want-to's." Seemingly, there is nothing I can do at this point to engage him in anything other than play or senseless discussions of an incoherent and childish nature. The end of today's lesson was particularly difficult as Henry began to strike me repeatedly with a wooden toy-broom; kicking me with his dirty sneakers, stepping on my shoes, and getting dirt and other markings on my suit and expensive dress shoes which was very disrespectful since I had requested him to stop more than a handful of times. I have tried to rationalize with Henry regarding his interactions with others, his speech toward others, and his approach toward learning, yet he simply refuses to listen or allow me to get a word in edge-wise. I'm struggling to find any common ground with Henry at this particular moment in time, which is the reason for my concern. His actions of striking me with the broom and attempting to put his dirty shoes on me without respect for my requests for him to stop nor respect for my personal property came out of nowhere. Needless to say, I am at a loss for how to move forward in this particular circumstance, and I am fully open to suggestions and assistance on this matter.

Lesson Comments
I will be meeting with Tara today to discuss Henry's behavior, speech and conduct with me today. I am an extremely tolerant, patient, and understanding person; however, I simply cannot allow Henry to disrespect me, my belongings, or our time together in the manner that he has chosen over the past two days. I see a great potential in the young man, but I get the sense he has no interest in listening to a word I have to say or learning anything from me regarding leadership. Today was very disheartening and frustrating as a result, so its with a lot of sadness that I am forced to express this negative happening and admit that I am not succeeding as his instructor at this time.
