Leadership Skills Worksheet: Qualities of a Good Leader
Leader's tip (Leader, not boss): A leader: listens to the team, says “we”, leads by example, shares the credit, helps anyone stuck, explains why. A boss: gives orders only, takes all the credit, blames the team, never listens, uses fear. Class monitor duties: help keep the class orderly, pass on messages, calmly ask for quiet, treat everyone by the same rules. A house captain practises with the house, not just gives orders.
