How does FBLA encourage leadership skills?

FBLA encourages leadership skills primarily through participation in competitive events. These events provide students with the opportunity to apply what they have learned in real-world scenarios, fostering critical thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities. By competing in various business-focused challenges, students work collaboratively with peers, strategize on their presentations, and develop their ability to lead in high-pressure situations. This hands-on approach not only enhances their business acumen but also builds confidence and communication skills, which are vital for effective leadership. Engaging in competitive events allows students to take initiative and demonstrate their leadership potential, preparing them for future responsibilities in the business world.
