Term 1 Integrated Learning - Leadership

We have been learning 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, Goal focused, Trustworthy, Active Thinker, Resilient and Motivational.

The Leadership trait I think I show the most is Goal focused because when I set a goal I work actively to achieve it.

The Leadership trait I would most like to develop is Motivational because I don't try and motivate people and I would like to change that.

Something new I have learnt about Leadership is the 6 leadership traits actually link into each other.

The SOLO level that I reached during this unit of learning is Extended Abstract because I can evaluate the effectiveness of a leader.

My next step in learning about Leadership is to apply everything that I have learnt about leadership to my own Leadership role.

W.A.L.T: Describe the traits of an effective leader
My solo level is Multistructual because I can describe the traits of an effective leader

Over the past new weeks we've been learning about how to be an effective leader. As a class we came up with 6 traits that we think an effective leader has to have. They are:

- Integrity: We read a book about Sir Edmund Hillary and I thought he showed integrity because he doesn't consider himself better than everyone else even though he was the first person to climb Mount Everest.

- Trustworthy: My understanding of trustworthy is someone who can be trusted to do something. I read a book about a girl called Nancy that was trusted to get radio codes in the second world war.

- Resilient: Resilience is when you never give up. I read a book where this guy went to a boot camp and he had to have resilience to get through it.

- Goal Focused: Being goal focused means you're determined to achieve you're goal. In the book about Sir Edmund Hillary he was goal focused because he didn't give up so he achieved his goal which was to get to the top of Mount Everest.

- Active thinker: Being an active thinker means you come up with new ideas which will help you reach your goal. In a book called Desert Kaupoi Tony showed active thinking by coming up with new ideas on how to stop the machine gun post

- Motivational: Being motivational is leading people towards a goal and making people want to achieve their goal.In Outward Bound Sam motivated himself to finish all the fitness activities.

My next step is to compare and contrast the traits of different leaders.
