Combining equal parts of excitement, entertainment and education, the Show presents a two week long extravaganza that thrills hundreds of thousands of spectators and provides the foundation for the Show's continuing support for young people and for education. Achieving this rare status of the "biggest and best "show of its kind in the world has required the enthusiasm and support of the nation's fourth largest city. No other event, anywhere in the country, seems to marshall the forces of civic pride and community support quite like the Houston Show. MUCH MORE THAN JUST A GREAT SHOW Though the Show is known world-wide as a championship rodeo and world's largest livestock show, it is much more. It is a montage of colorful and exciting events against the backdrop of .livestock judging and rodeo competition. And, there is something for everyone. Putting on the Show is a year-long job that involves the time and energy of thousands of volunteers and their commitment and dedication really pays off in the spectacular procession of activities which surround the Show. A whirl of pre-Show activities, known as Go Texan Days, only serves to whet~the appetite for fans and friends of the Show. Whether you're native born or a naturalized transplant, everyone gets into the spirit of the Show through Go Texan Days. The culmination of Go Texan Days oc urs at the rodeo parade where hundreds of thousands of spectators line the official route to see the old west brought back to life by the biggest parade of them all. • PROCLAMATION • FBLA-PBL WEEK WHEREAS, the city of Laporte recognizes the importance of the youth of our nation; and, WHEREAS, the city of Laporte recognizes that the continued vitality of the business structure of America is dependent upon the development of these young men and women; and, WHEREAS, Future Business Leaders of America-Phi Beta Lambda, (FBLA-PBL) represents nearly 200,000 se-condary, post-secondary and college students interested in preparing for careers in business education; and, r~ U WHEREAS, FBLA-PBL provides the valuable service of developing leadership, encouraging cooperation, promoting good citizenship, teaching up-to-date business informa- tion, and inspiring patriotism among its members; As Mayor of Laporte I do hereby, designate the week =`'`- of February 12-18, 1984 as FBLA-PBL week, to recognize the efforts of this organization which is working to prepare the Future Business Leaders of American Business Dated this day of Signature • • PHI BETA LAMBDA FACT SHEET Phi Beta Lambda is a non-profit, vocational education organizations for students~inter- ested in business careers.

I' Leadership had been defi~ as: • 1. The ability to stimulate, guide and show the way. 2. The activity of influencing people to cooperate toward some goal which they come to find desirable. Followers of a true leader must get sat- • isfaction and self-fulfillment. 3. Personality in action under group conditions. TYPES OF LEADERS There are three types of leaders in today's business. 1. Autocratic - This "boss" type had been outmoded for many years but is still found too frequently. There is only one occasion when a leader may need to act in an autocratic manner - in an emergency. 2. Laissez faire - This type~of supervisor is really no leader because he or she allows followers to do as they please while failing to sti- mulate and guide them toward desirable business goals. 3. Democratic - This type is a true leader. He or she thinks in terms of "we" and plans how to stimulate cooperation and teamwork. LEADERS - BORN OR MADE? Leaders are made' 1. Any person of normal intelligence and with a sincere desire to be of service to people can acquire the skill of leadership 2. Personality qualities and Supervising skills can be improved or devel- oped. 3. Skill in supervising people must be the result of sound and logical thinking and fair, considerate and sympathetic feelings toward people. • CHARACTERISTICS OF EFFECTIVE LEADERS There are eight main characteristics for effective leadership. 1. Leaders maintain respect - The leader must create the proper relation- ship with subordinates and earn their respect in order to maintain their willingness to accept authority. 2. Leaders work effectively with people - The leader becomes genuienely interested in others, and encourages others to talk about themselves. 3. Leaders are responsive to the needs and desires•of others - The leader is sincere and a good listener. 4. Leaders are knowledgeable - The leader is expected to understand the total situation and have all the general information. S. Leaders should possess superior motivation - A leader must have an in- tense desire to get things done and involve others. 6. Leaders are inspired and enthusiastic - Enthusiasm is contagious! 7. Leaders tap and use every resource - A good leader will realize that every member. has something to contribute and will tap that resource. 8. Leaders capitalize on the organizational environment and the leader- ship of others - The effective leader utilizes the potential of other leaders; He/she learns from them, profits from their mistakes and en- larges on their successes. Whether you are a Leader of a Follower, FBLA-PBL is for you! Realize the op- portunities of a business career; establish o-cupational goals; gain business • experience; develop self-confidence; learn the value of community responsibility; and practice efficient money management.
