"Unlock the Treasure in Every Child" - May 6, 2019
Positivity Project- Leadership
Leadership can be both formal and informal. It is concerned with getting others to do what needs to be done while maintaining group morale to ensure readiness to act in the future. This character strength’s focus is on the personal qualities of leaders, rather than the practice of leadership. These qualities include the ability to understand others and inspire them toward a common goal, the capacity to mitigate conflict and mold consensus, and the desire to lead other people.
The parent virtue of connection and purpose is Justice. Strengths of justice refer to the optimal relationship between the individual and the group or community, rather than the more one-to-one relationships in the humanity virtue. These strengths include: teamwork/citizenship, fairness, and leadership.
Use these quotes, videos and character card to discuss the character strength with your children.
"Leadership is a relationship." ~Unknown
"Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and action." ~ Harold S. Geneen
