Life Skills & Leadership: Unit 4, Session 3: My Leadership Role (Optional) | Page 41 of 91B. Summary
Conclude the activity by saying:
“Today we reinforced the idea that each person on a team has something important that the group
needs and that they can contribute. It may be making a suggestion, helping to reach a decision,
creating opportunities for other members to contribute, being a listener, or summarizing what people
have said.“We also learned that in the middle of a complex task or with time pressure, it’s difficult to use these
leadership skills effectively. The ability to be an effective leader is something you can learn. By focusing
on the qualities of good leaders and looking for opportunities to practice leadership actions, you can
gradually become more effective as a leader.“Please keep your handout from today, along with the one you completed last time we met called ‘I am
a Leader.’ I want to encourage you to practice these leadership actions you have chosen whenever you
find yourself in a group. We will also be able to practice them in our next session when we look more
closely at leadership and working on a project as a group.”V. Assessment ( 0 minutes)
