How To Be A Good Role Model/Leader!

Leadership, Courage, Yourself…. These are the key things that I believe that make you a good role model. If you keep reading this and I guarantee you’ll become a great role model

Looking behind the person…. A good role model always has people following them. A speech that our principal said to us is “Look behind the person who is walking and if no ones behind him/her then him/her is not a leader!”.

Be Courageous, Be like a lion and take your rightful place. Be the king and lead your people to the place they belong. Being a leader/role model takes courage and strength, you need to be strong for the people around you, you need to be that one person who takes responsibility and looks after everyone.

Kindness/Generosity! If I were to become a role model, the one thing I would concentrate on is being kind and caring for my whanau who surrounds me. Being kind to people can make your life change into something new, something better! Things you can do to be nice is helping them with their work, giving them things that they might not have or you could just give them space. Some people need space because they have hard times with their life.

Being yourself. This might not seem like the greatest idea but if you think about it, being yourself is the most important thing to being a good role model. Explaining being yourself is kind of weird because you should know how to be yourself so all I can say is…. Be Yourself!

Demonstration is good for little kids. Explaining things to kids can be complicated so demonstrating it’s easier than explaining to little kids. An example - you could be explaining something to kids but they’ll just look at you confused, if you demonstrate it they’ll understand easier.

You could do many things to become a good role model or leader. Sometimes you don’t actually have to do all these things to be greatest leader, you could be the quiet one but everyone follows everything you do!
