Leadership Qualities and Skills Lesson 4 Year 8

Learning Objective  We will learn which skills and qualities make an effective leader  We will identify our leadership skills and qualities

What is a leader? 

Types of leaders- They are everywhere…  Task 1- Think of a good leader you know. Think about TWO things which make them a good leader. You have 2 minutes to think of them. It can be a political leader, a teacher, a manager, royalty, a parent, a team captain etc  Task 2- Pass this leader to a friend. Share your leader with person next to you and the two things you think makes them a good leader. Then listen to theirs, listen carefully as the teacher will be asking you questions about THEIR leader

What makes a good leader  Carousel The teacher is going to separate the class into 4 groups. Each group will have an A3 sheet of paper and each group will have ONE different coloured pen. EG group 1 red, group 2 blue etc One person in the group write: “What makes a good leader” in the centre of the page and draw a circle around it. Your group has 3 minutes to write down as many things(qualities, skills, personality) which you think makes a “good leader”

Pass your paper to the next group! E.g group 1->2->3->4->1  KEEP THE SAME PEN!  Now you have to add any things you think the other group have missed out. You have 3 minutes. Keep repeating until every team has filled out each piece of paper. How many did your team get on all pieces of paper? Which team had the most “correct” answers Class debate??

Leaders- They are everywhere!

From your answers from task one we have identified what makes a good leader.  In your group you are going to use this list, on the back of your paper put this list into 3 categories. SkillsQualitiesPersonality e.g organisedconfidentcaring

Task 4- nominate someone in your group to read out your answers to the class..

Did someone in your group nominate someone? (has this person been in charge of other tasks?) Did someone volunteer themselves? This was an opportunity to lead by example…did you take it? Or did you just sit back and allow others? Ask yourself… do you see youself as a leader or a follower?

TOP 10 Leadership Qualities/Skills  From the list you created with your group.  Choose ten skills and qualities you think are the MOST IMPORTANT to become a successful leader
