Summary
Leadership becomes easier for children to understand when it is tied to visible behavior: preparing equipment, reading a route, listening to instructions, managing pace, helping teammates and reflecting after a mission.
Key Ideas
- Leadership is not a speech; it is behavior under conditions.
- Rally-style tasks create a beginning, route, team role and finish line.
- Children can rotate between leading, following, reporting and supporting.
- Coaches can turn each mission into a reflection conversation.
- Parents can observe progress through concrete behaviors rather than vague confidence claims.
