Leadership Tips

A good leader works with other people towards a goal.
What do you want? [to happen, to change, to create]

Some important questions for a leader to ask are:

• What is the issue? [What is the problem?]
• Who besides you relates to the issue? [Who are your friends/also care about the issue?]
• Who has the POWER to help you? [Who has the power to help get what you want?]
• What can they do?
• How can you best talk to them about your issue?
