Session 3: My Leadership Role (Optional)

Date: Time: 90 minutes Facilitator(s):

Facilitator preparation:

1. Gather the materials for the tasks of the green and yellow teams.


2. Be prepared to show the flip chart “Leadership Qualities” that was generated during the discussion with
   participants during the Information section of Unit 4, Session 1, “What is a Leader?”


3. Bring the participants’ copies of Handout 1: I am a Leader (completed in the Practice phase of Unit 4,
   Session 2).

Note: This session builds on Session 2 by providing additional opportunities for participants to practice a different group leadership role, choosing from among
those roles identified in that session. If you think that time is short, it would be OK to skip this session and proceed directly to Session 4. It may be enough for
participants to understand that there are various team roles that they can choose in the future.
