Habits of Communication for Leaders
Purpose & Goals

The aim of this program is to nurture the forthcoming generation of leaders by
enhancing their communication skills. Each week, students will focus on
mastering di erent skills and studying various topics to equip themselves with
the necessary tools to become future leaders capable of making a positive
impact on a global scale. By improving their reading comprehension, students
will not only deepen their understanding of various texts but also gain
knowledge of pressing contemporary issues. Through analyzing and critically
thinking about these topics and exposing themselves to multiple sources,
students will form their own judgments and opinions. Once students complete
the rst two phases, they will be well-prepared to deliver an e ective and
informative presentation, an essential skill for any leader. By combining the rst
three phases, students will be able to con dently debate these topics due to
their vast knowledge and information acquired throughout the quarter.
By actively participating in these four phases, students can develop

communication habits that are typical of leaders, making the goal of this
program increasingly achievable.

Homework Manual
Use the guides below to know what you have to do for homework
Week 1: Background Information
1 Watch the WARM-UP video at home.

• All videos can be found on Youtube.
• Watch carefully and answer the questions listed below.
2 After that, you will read the INTRODUCTION on the next page.
• Thoroughly read the passage and look up the words that you don’t understand.
3 Lastly, you will read the passage labeled THINK AS A LEADER.

• Thoroughly read the passage and provide a thoughtful response to the leadership question.
Week 2: News Journal
1 FIND an article RELATED TO THE TOPIC BEING COVERED THAT MONTH, using a reliable news
source that you know. There is a list of sources on the next page.
• READ it throughly, LOOK UP the words you don’t know, PRINT it, and PASTE it in the box.
• It should be a recent news article that is related or closely related to the topic.
2 Then, you will SUMMARIZE the passage on the next page.

• IN YOUR OWN WORDS, you will summarize the passage in the space provided.
• Your summary should be at least 8-10 sentences long. No less.
• Do not copy word-for-word, or select-and-combine a few sentences from the passage. Some
students do this and think that the teacher won’t know. That is cheating and you will get three
strikes.
3 Finally, you will write your CRITICAL THINKING ARGUMENT or CTA.

• This means to create a debatable argument. Then you will prove your argument with three
reasons. Each of these reasons will have to be supported with details, explanations, and examples.
• The purpose of CTA is to prove your thoughts with well-supported and detailed reasoning.
Week 3: Presentation
1 Choose one topic from the list of presentation topics.

• Fill out the outline so that you can organize your thoughts.
• Then, make a 4 to 5 minute PPT presentation by following the Habit 9 Presentation Guidelines.
Week 4: Debate: Homework will depend on class and teacher.
1 You will follow the directions that will be explained by your teacher as well as the directions in the
Debate section.
If you are absent for any of these weeks, you still have to do it and show the teacher when you
return. Skipping homework--simply because you were absent--is not helpful to you.

Presentation Guide
Use the 9 guides below to make an awesome presentation
1 Always outline the three main points you want to deliver.

Use the presentation outline underneath the list of topics.
Having clear points will make your presentation better prepared.
2 Hooks: Always introduce each slide with a hook.

Don’t just show the slide and explain.
Make everyone interested and engaged in each slide.
Every slide, including the cover slide and the ending slide should have a hook.
3 Use simple words.

Your audience will quickly lose focus if you use extremely hard words.
Keep your words simple or make sure to explain the hard concepts.
4 Use relevant pictures and contrasting colors.

Pictures can simplify content on the screen so your audience can listen to your
explanations and not your slides.
You must not write full sentences on your slides and read from them.
Contrasting colors, such as black and white, blue and orange, can make the slides appear
bolder and pleasing to the eye.
5 Don’t use animations.

Animations can be distracting and take up some of your presentation time.
Creating animations can also be time consuming when doing your homework.
6 Don’t include irrelevant content, like a meaningless table of contents.

If your table of contents is, Introduction, Reason 1, Reason 2, Reason 3, Conclusion, don’t
include it in your slides. We already know you are going to tell us three reasons.
Instead, create an informative table of contents so that the audience can raise their levels of
expectations.
7 Incorporate knowledge learned in class such as content and vocab.

Why waste all of the valuable and useful content we learned in class?
Use everything you learned and include them in your presentation.
8 Practice at home. At least twice.

Don’t embarrass yourself by being unprepared. Practice makes perfect.
No script during your real presentation.
Remember to include gestures.
Don’t forget about eye contact and proper posture.
9 Make it fun.
If you make it fun, you will have fun making it and the audience will have fun listening to it.
Also, remember to time yourself. If it goes over 5 minutes, your listeners will lose attention.
A boring topic can be fun. A fun topic can be boring. It all depends on you.
Always ask your teacher for more help and information!

Debate Guide: Motion and Brainstorming
Asian Parliamentary Debate Format
Debate Motions
There will always be three di erent types of topics. After agreement from both sides, one topic will be
chosen for that day’s debate. Opposition will cross one o . Government will cross another o . The
remaining will be the topic of debate.
MF: Motion of Fact: Something is or is not

MV: Motion of Value: Something is worthy or not
MP: Motion of Policy: Something should be done or not
Role Assignment
Roles will be determined on the day of the debate, randomly, by the teacher. Your team and partners
will be the ones you will collaborate and work together with. Class will be divided into speakers and
adjudicators.
Brainstorming
De ne the Motion and Create Arguments using AREL. Speakers and Adjudicators will all do this in their
teams. Adjudicators will brainstorm so that they can know what to expect in the debate as well.
DTM: De ne the Motion

A de nition is an interpretation or understanding of the motion. The PM needs to provide this in the
beginning of his speech, in order to set a clear parameter or boundary of the debate.
Simply, a de nition is describing the motion with very speci c details that explain what the teams would
exactly be debating about and to which direction the debate should go.
This is done because opposing teams might understand the same topic in di erent ways.
Example Motion: This house supports capital punishment for drug dealers.
De nition Breakdown:
This house = The government
Capital punishment = A maximum jail punishment, also known as the death penalty
Drug Dealers = People who sell illegal drugs that are not allowed by the government
DTM: We, the government, support the death penalty for people who sell, distribute, and
commit illegal drug activities.
Create Arguments using AREL

An argument that has logos=logic is the most important part of the debate.
Assertion: A statement of claim or premise

Reasoning: An explanation as to why that claim is true. The ‘because’ of your statement.
Evidence: Give supporting facts to strengthen the reasoning.
Link: A conclusion of the entire argument as to why it proves the given motion.
Example AREL Argument: Topic: This house believes in a liar’s good intentions.
A: Truth can hurt people.
R: Truth is not always a happy truth.
E: People compliment others when they don’t mean it.
L: Therefore, it’s better to lie to prevent someone from getting hurt.

Introduction
What is arti cial intelligence (AI)?
Arti cial intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence processes
by machines, especially computer systems. Speci c applications of AI
include expert systems, natural language processing, speech
recognition, and machine vision.
In the exciting realm of arti cial intelligence (AI), computer science

takes center stage. AI is dedicated to the creation of systems capable
of independent thinking, problem-solving, and continuous learning.
Unlike automated systems with pre-programmed tasks, AI aspires to
mimic human intelligence, adapting and evolving over time.
Algorithms, fundamental to AI, play a pivotal role, especially in the training process. Today's AI algorithms
dive into vast datasets, identifying patterns in information to describe historical data and predict future
outcomes. Kasia Kozdon, a Ph.D. student specializing in bio-inspired AI at University College London, sheds
light on three fundamental methods for training AI systems.
Supervised learning, the rst method, involves a person providing known

answers to the AI, essentially teaching it to align with prede ned solutions.
Unsupervised learning, the second method, requires the AI to independently
discover answers by recognizing patterns and relationships within datasets.
The third, reinforcement learning, incentivizes the AI without explicit
instructions, promoting curiosity and self-learning. An exemplary instance of
reinforcement learning is Google's AI mastering the intricate Atari game
Montezuma's Revenge, showcasing the machine's ability to decipher game
rules and progress autonomously.
E ectiveness of AI in Practical Applications

Despite AI's remarkable progress, achieving arti cial general intelligence
(Strong AI) – machines thinking on a human level and solving diverse
tasks – remains an unattained goal. Kozdon describes Strong AI as the
industry's holy grail, eagerly sought after by companies.
Present-day AI excels in speci c tasks such as targeted marketing,

defeating human opponents in games like chess, and powering everyday
applications. Siri answers questions, Gmail lters out spam, Net ix and
Spotify suggest personalized content, and LinkedIn proposes new
connections, showcasing the diverse applications of AI in our lives.
AI's Quirky Ingenuity: Akin to Training Dolphins

Engaging with AI is akin to training a dolphin – intelligent, adaptable, and capable of nding unique solutions.
Analogous to the story of Kelly the dolphin at the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies, AI often surprises by
devising unconventional approaches. Kelly, tasked with picking up trash for a reward, ingeniously stashed
paper under a rock, exchanging tiny slivers with trainers for sh. This highlights the unexpected and creative
ways in which AI tackles goals, adding an element of surprise and ingenuity to its capabilities.
Current Trends and Future Prospects in AI

In recent developments, AI continues to reshape industries, contributing to advancements in healthcare,
nance, and autonomous systems. The ongoing exploration of ethical considerations and the responsible use
of AI underscores the need for a balanced approach to harness its potential. As AI evolves, it holds the
promise of creating more e cient and innovative solutions, while addressing ethical concerns will ensure a
harmonious integration of this transformative technology into our daily lives.

Think as a Leader
Consumers are always searching for a better customer experience – and they are willing to spend
money for the bene ts that experience provides. This is evident by the success of companies like
Apple, which o ers a customer service center (known as the Genius Bar) at every store.
The customer experience is especially important in building brands that attract and maintain
customer loyalty, which is becoming increasingly di cult to do in this super competitive and ultra-
personalized landscape. Consumers want brands that remember their preferences and can provide a
unique and individualized experience.
This is irrespective of the privacy concerns of AI, which are broad but not enough to dissuade
customer desires. As a result, brands are now expected to demonstrate that they can accurately
customize the experience for everyone, adding a personal touch to a world dominated by impersonal
communication, repetition and ubiquity. Brands are also trying to reconcile costs by relying on
automation to perform a growing number of tasks. AI chatbots are a terri c example, as they have
become a common toolset for any company looking to simplify their processes. They can provide a
modern alternative to the old click-through approach, in which customers clicked an endless display
of links to achieve the desired results. But is it enough?
Whether looking for more information on booking a vacation or inquiring about new products or
services, consumers are more likely than ever to encounter a chatbot. In some instances, the bot
might be the only point of contact outside of email and/or a hotline with limited hours. With AI being
applied to those technologies as well, some customers might wonder if there are any humans left to
service their needs.
While automation is certainly an important part of any industry – today and especially tomorrow – it
should not be implemented at the expense of the customer experience. Instead of relying on bots
that attempt to handle everything automatically, customers would be better served by businesses
that nd a happy medium between human and machine.
AI is, after all, arti cial intelligence. “Intelligence” is what we need to improve productivity, e ciency
and deliver better results internally within the organization as well as externally with customers and
clients. The “arti cial” part, however, can be a bit lacking – even downright underwhelming. It can
only be overcome, enhanced and smoothed out with the touch of human employees, who bring
knowledge and expertise no AI can match.
Thus, AI should be used in a way that enhances the work we do, not as a sole replacement.
What Would You Do: Human service vs automated service. Who wins?

to end this debate. I am going to discuss _AREL 1+2_ points. [Insert your AREL arguments here and
conclude with a very persuasive ending].
Thank you Mr./Ms. Prime Minister. The motion for today is that _MF/MV/MP_. We, the opposition,
strongly feel that this resolution will fall. Before moving on to our points, I would rst like to refute
some of the points introduced by the Prime Minister. [Refute the points from the PM now]. Now I
LO would like to move on to some of the opposition’s points. We strongly believe that this resolution
should fall for these fundamental reasons: _A1_, and _A2_. Our DLO will further explain additional
points. [Explain your two main points now and conclude with a very persuasive ending].
To rea rm, the government strongly stands on the position that _MF/MV/MP_. The LO has provided
some interesting points and I would like to begin with my refutations. [Refute the points from LO
now]. To strengthen the points presented by our PM, I would like to provide two additional arguments

Introduction
The Curious Case of Autonomous Vehicles: Revolution or Reality Check?
Autonomous vehicles, often called self-driving cars, have captured our imaginations with promises of a
transportation utopia. These futuristic machines, envisioned as gliding smoothly through cityscapes and rural
highways, seem poised to transform our lives. However, beneath the alluring gleam of this vision lies a
landscape of technological hurdles, regulatory roadblocks, and ethical quandaries. Before we buckle up for a
self-driving future, it's crucial to peel back the layers of hype and assess the true state of autonomous
vehicles.
The allure of these automobiles is undeniable. Proponents paint a picture of roads devoid of accidents,
thanks to machines programmed to follow rules awlessly. Tra c congestion, they assure us, will become a
relic of the past, as eets of coordinated vehicles optimize their movements. Accessibility for the elderly and
disabled would soar, granting them newfound freedom and independence. These promises, while enticing,
require cautious scrutiny.
The technological challenges loom large. Complex algorithms must contend with a dynamic, unpredictable
world. Navigating dense urban environments with their labyrinthine streets and bustling pedestrians demands
an almost omniscient awareness. Unexpected weather conditions, sudden mechanical failures, and even
unpredictable human behavior can stymie even the most advanced systems. Ensuring the reliability and
safety of autonomous vehicles necessitates relentless technological advancement and rigorous testing in
diverse real-world conditions.
Beyond the technical, a web of regulatory and ethical knots awaits untangling. Governments must grapple
with crafting comprehensive regulations that govern the behavior of these intelligent machines. Who bears
responsibility for accidents? How do we ensure data privacy and cybersecurity as vehicles collect and
transmit vast amounts of data? Ethical dilemmas abound – what if an autonomous vehicle faces an
unavoidable collision, forced to choose between harming passengers or pedestrians? Navigating these
ethical mine elds demands open dialogue and responsible development, prioritizing human safety and
societal well-being.
While the road ahead for autonomous vehicles appears paved with both promise and peril, a de nitive
destination remains unclear. Technological breakthroughs could propel us towards a self-driving future sooner
than anticipated, yet regulatory and ethical obstacles may force us to apply the brakes. The journey towards
realizing the true potential of autonomous vehicles hinges on a balanced approach – relentless innovation
coupled with cautious progress, informed by ethical considerations and public trust. Only then can we
determine whether this futuristic vision will become a revolution or a mere reality check for our transportation
dreams.

Autonomous Vehicles
Think as a Leader
What started out as a temporary pilot project to test a robotaxi service in Las Vegas has turned into a
multi-year partnership between self-driving software company Aptiv and Lyft and a new milestone
that suggests the operation is ramping up. The companies announced Tuesday that they’ve given
100,000 paid rides in Aptiv’s self-driving vehicles via the Lyft app.
“To our knowledge, this is the largest open-to-the-public commercial pilot,” Aptiv Autonomous
Mobility President Karl Iagnemma said in a recent interview. “To me this partnership is a great
example of the next-generation ecosystem at work.”
The milestone has a few important caveats. Aptiv’s self-driving vehicles — which initially began with
BMW 5 series — have a human safety driver behind the wheel to take over if needed. The human
driver operates the vehicle manually in parking lots and hotel lobby areas. The program, even if with
those human safety drivers behind the wheel, has proven invaluable to the companies, according to
Iagnemma and Jody Kelman, who leads the self-driving platform team at Lyft. “We’ve got something
here,” Kelman said. “This is really a blueprint for what future mobility partnerships can look like.”
Companies in this so-called “race” to commercially deploy on-demand ride-hailing services using
self-driving vehicles must master more than the technical bits. Fleet management, real-time routing
and designing an approachable user interface are just a few critical components needed to operate a
pro table robotaxi service. The program has taught Aptiv how to “get and keep a eet of
autonomous vehicles on the road and keep them highly utilized,” Iagnemma said, later adding that
this project positions Lyft and Aptiv to be major winners in this space. The companies also learned
how to work with various regulatory bodies, in this case, with the city of Las Vegas, Clark County and
the region’s transit authority.
Lyft and Aptiv rst launched the pilot in January 2018 as a one-week experiment and then
announced plans to extend the program. The program surpassed 5,000 self-driving rides by August
and jumped to more than 25,000 paid autonomous rides by December 2018, all while maintaining an
average passenger rating of 4.95 out of ve stars, Aptiv said at the time. By May 2019, the
companies reported they had given more than 50,000 paid self-driving rides in Las Vegas. Aptiv’s
investment in Las Vegas expanded as those ridership numbers grew. The company opened in
December 2018 a 130,000-square-foot technical center in the city to house its eet of autonomous
vehicles as well as an engineering team dedicated to research and development of software and
hardware systems, validation and mapping.

Introduction
Unveiling the Internet of Things: A Symphony of Connected Devices
Imagine a world where your co ee maker brews a
fresh pot upon sensing your wakefulness, your
thermostat adjusts to your preferred temperature
as you approach, and your refrigerator alerts you
when your favorite milk is running low. This
seamless orchestration of everyday objects isn't a
scene from a science ction movie – it's the reality
promised by the Internet of Things (IoT).
At its core, the IoT refers to the vast network of

physical devices embedded with sensors,
software, and internet connectivity. These "smart"
devices collect and exchange data, creating a
symphony of communication that transforms how
we live, work, and interact with the world around
us. From tness trackers monitoring our health to
smartwatches streamlining our schedules, the
IoT's tendrils reach into every aspect of our lives.
The impact of this interconnected ecosystem is profound. In smart homes, lights adjust to our moods,
appliances optimize energy consumption, and security systems provide real-time monitoring, o ering
enhanced comfort, convenience, and peace of mind. In cities, intelligent tra c lights manage congestion,
smart meters track energy usage, and connected waste bins optimize collection routes, fostering a more
e cient and sustainable urban environment.
Yet, the potential of the IoT extends far beyond individual devices and conveniences. In industries like
agriculture, sensors monitor soil conditions and optimize irrigation, leading to increased crop yields and
resource conservation. In healthcare, wearable devices track vital signs and transmit data to doctors,
enabling remote patient monitoring and early intervention in potential health issues. The possibilities seem
endless, promising advancements in elds ranging from manufacturing and logistics to environmental
protection and disaster management.
However, as with any emerging technology, challenges and

concerns accompany the promise of the IoT. Security
vulnerabilities in connected devices raise concerns about
data privacy and hacking risks. The ever-expanding network
of devices raises questions about the ethical implications of
data collection and usage. Regulatory frameworks need to
evolve to keep pace with technological advancements,
ensuring responsible development and deployment of IoT
solutions.
Despite these challenges, the potential of the IoT to

revolutionize our lives remains undeniable. As technology
continues to evolve, and societal concerns are addressed, the
interconnected symphony of the IoT will continue to grow,
composing a new chapter in human progress and innovation.
Whether it becomes a harmonious masterpiece or a cacophony of discord depends on our ability to harness
its power responsibly and ethically. The choice, like the melody of the future, lies in our hands.

Internet of Things
Think as a Leader
Where does the IoT go next?
A report from Samsung says the need to secure every connected device by 2020 is "critical". The
rm's Open Economy document says "there is a very clear danger that technology is running ahead
of the game". The rm said more than 7.3 billion devices will need to be made secure by their
manufacturers before 2020. “We are looking at a future in which companies will indulge in digital
Darwinism, using IoT, AI and machine learning to rapidly evolve in a way we’ve never seen before,"
Brian Solis, from Altimeter Group, who helped on the research said.
But aren't there any privacy issues?

Everything that's connected to the internet can be hacked, IoT products are no exception to this
unwritten rule. Insecure IoT systems led to toy manufacturer VTech losing videos and pictures of
children using its connected devices.
There's also the issue of surveillance. If every product becomes connected then there's the potential
for unlimited observation of users. If a connected fridge tracks food usage and consumption,
takeaways could be targeted at hungry people who have no food. If a smartwatch can detect when
you're in the bathroom, these hackers might even be able to blackmail the watch wearer.
We need reliable standards

At the center of creating a vast, reliable IoT network lies one signi cant issue: compatible standards.
Connected objects need to be able to speak to each other to transfer data and share what they are
recording. If they all run on di erent standards, they struggle to communicate and share. The
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Standards Association lists a huge number of standards being
developed and worked on for di erent applications. "Additional needs are emerging for
