What is one way KOSSA assesses leadership skills?

KOSSA assesses leadership skills through practical group simulations, as this method allows for a dynamic environment where students can demonstrate their ability to lead, collaborate, and interact within a team. Simulations provide a realistic setting that mimics real-world challenges, enabling individuals to showcase their decision-making skills, adaptability, and capacity to guide others effectively. This hands-on approach encourages participants to actively engage in leadership roles, fostering critical thinking and teamwork, which are essential components of effective leadership.

In contrast, multiple-choice exams and written assignments focus primarily on knowledge recall or individual reflection, which do not fully capture the complexities of leadership in action. Practical group simulations specifically target the necessary interpersonal and situational skills that characterize strong leaders. Individual projects may allow for personal initiative but lack the collaborative element crucial for evaluating leadership abilities.
