Park Lesson #1

What is a leader?

There are many leaders in our world. Some lead our families. Some lead our communities. Some lead our countries. Who are some of the leaders that you can think of?

There are two types of leaders. Good leaders and Bad leaders. Each leader has their own way of being a leader. Leaders are faced with decisions every day. When they are faced with these decisions, they have choices to make. These choices are what makes them good or bad leaders. Some leaders choose to follow ways that aren’t good for their group that they lead.  As leaders, we need to think about the groups that we are leading. Whether it is your family or the entire country. Some decisions are difficult to make. But if we have the best interest of our group in our thoughts, the decisions will be the right ones.

Within all of us is a great leader. We just have to train ourselves to be that way and make the choice. We can start by leading ourselves. Each day when you wake up, think about the choices you have to make that day. Maybe it’s what you will have for breakfast. Whether or not you will watch cartoons or talk to your friends on the phone. No matter what your choices are, you should always plan to lead yourself positively. Some ways to do that are:

  • Posture. Standing up tall not only makes you feel good, it tells the people around you that you like who you are and what you are doing. It will make them feel confident in any decisions that you are making.
  • Speak clearly. There is nothing worse that trying to listen to a mumbler. Think what our lives would be like if Mom and Dad mumbled each time they asked us to do something. Bleh.
  • Dress appropriately. If you want people to like you, you need to look like someone who is great to like.
  • Look people in the eye when you speak to them or greet them. It sends a clear message that you are confident.
  • Project a positive attitude. Even when it may not be a fun job, you can find something good about it. People want to be around happy, positive people.

Remember: Each day, you have choices to make. YOU are the one in charge of those choices.
