Term 1 Learning Leadership

We have been learning all about What makes a good leader.

Here is a link to the Leadership modelling book.

We identified that good leaders show 6 main character traits. These are:

Integrity Trustworthy Resilient Goal focused Active thinker Motivational

The leadership trait that I think I show the most is resilient because even though I don't have enough people to help me with PALS, I still look to the bright side and think of something else.

The leadership trait I would most like to develop is motivational because I need to motivate people to do what I want them to do.

Something NEW I have learned about leadership is what leadership is: It is a skill of being able to motivate a team/individual to achieve their goal.

The SOLO level that I reached during this unit of learning is extended abstract because I can evaluate ideas really well.

My next step in learning about leadership is to apply everything that I have learned about leadership to my own leadership roles.

Evaluating Information

Here is an example of my learning about changing the nz flag.
I decided not to change the flag for many reasons.

Leadership

WALT: describe the traits of an effective leader.

I am on Multistructual on the solo matrix which is to describe the traits of an effective leader.

We had to come up with 6 positive traits that a leader should have. The six traits are:

INTEGRITY 

Integrity means that they are reliable, positive and fair. A leader should show integrity so that people could trust them and they are always positive if something is not going right.

TRUSTWORTHY 

Trustworthy is when they are honest and are able to be trusted in doing something. Trustworthy is important. Trustworthy doesn't mean you have to tell the truth. They don't take sides.

RESILIENT

If they are resilient they don't give up when something is hard they try different strategies instead. Leaders need to be resilient. If they try hard they can achieve their goal.

GOAL FOCUSED

Leaders need to concentrate in order to achieve their goal. If they are goal focus nothing can disturb them.

ACTIVE THINKER

Active thinking means thinking outside the box and choosing different activities each time. If they do the same activity every time, it will get very boring.

MOTIVATIONAL

If they motivational they are being motivated to do something and able to motivate someone else.
