Leadership Skills Worksheet: Taking Responsibility
Leader's tip (Own it, fix it): Responsible: owning up to a mistake, doing your class duty, returning borrowed books, reporting a broken bench, checking your own work. Irresponsible: blaming a teammate, saying “not my job”, hiding a broken item, leaving the mess behind, waiting to be told. A responsible reply owns the problem and says how it will be fixed: “I forgot the chart. I will bring it tomorrow before class.”
