Term 1 Integrated 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 Motivational,

Integrity, Resilient, Goal Focused, Trustworthy and Active Thinker.

The leadership trait that I think I show the most is Goal Focused because i try my best at finishing my goal.

The leadership trait I would most like to develop is Active Thinker because i dont choose a good place to learn, so i get distracted.

Something NEW I have learned about leadership is the leadership traits because i didn't know what they meant and I do now.
