In the video below (which was a flash mob performance from our school Stratford Hall, in support of glocal issues around water), the young man who starts the dance off also choreographed the dance, organized the student practices, helped organize the actual event itself (with a fair bit of teacher input) and then took a huge risk and started the dance himself. That’s leadership.
How do you think this video will look on his future resume?
Richard DeMerchant says:
This is a great example of leadership. When I see things like this I think that the days of the resume are coming to a close (this may be a good blog post for me … hmmmm). Having been on many hiring teams over the years I can honestly say that a resume is nice to look at but the person is far better. I have seen people with great resumes interviewed and knew in 5 minutes that they would not fit in. A digital portfolio (I will skip right pass the analogue version) is a great way to present yourself. I hope this student (indeed all of them) save this for their future careers. Knowing they they are like this at a young age helps to paint a better picture of the type of person they would be in an organization. Love this stuff.
