2. Myths about Leaders Leaders are always right Leaders are tough Leaders are never scared Leaders always know what to do (Leaders know everything) Leaders never make bad decisions Leaders can do anything

3. More Mad Leader Myths Men make better leaders than women Tall/smart/beautiful people are good leaders A Hero is a good Leader Leaders are born, not made Popular people make good leaders Being a leader is easy

4. Leaders: LEAD INFLUENCE and MOTIVATE people FIND and TRY NEW THINGS LOOK and LISTEN more than talk INCLUDE and RESPECT people Are not ALWAYS popular LEARN from mistakes Realise everyone is DIFFERENT

5. Leaders keep trying I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot... and I missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's precisely why I succeed. Michael Jordan

7. At Home Take responsibility Ask what you can do to help Tidy your room before being asked Be ORGANISED Make a schedule for chores "Eat the Frog" Respect others Stay Healthy - Good food, sleep, exercise Lead by example

8. At School Take RESPONSIBILITY Be curious Find / think of new ways of doing things Be ORGANISED VOLUNTEER for Leadership Roles Help others ACHIEVE THEIR BEST Be Fair AND REWARD EFFORT Don't ask others to do what you would not SET AN EXAMPLE for others to follow

9. In your Community Make opportunities (Get Involved) (Things are run by PEOPLE WHO TURN UP) Be ORGANISED Try different things. TALK to people especially OTHER LEADERS.

10. In your Community READ (everything) Look for ways that you can help VOLUNTEER for leadership positions Walk the Talk HELP OTHERS ACHIEVE (Why I am here today) If at first you don't succeed...
