What is Leadership?

We just started the unit on the Executive Branch in US Government, and we did one of my favorite activities.  The class was divided into groups of 4 and they had to make a body that represented the president on a big piece of butcher paper.  They did not add detail because in the body they wrote in qualities and characteristics we look for in a president.  I thought it was great that two groups drew women.  That will be a good day when this country elects a woman to the highest office in the land.

Here are some of the characteristics and qualities the students said:

• Experienced
• Honest
• Religious
• Heart
• Respectful
• Patriotic
• Consistent
• Trustworthy
• Loyal
• Brave
• Intelligent
• Relatable
• In Control
• Loving
• SWAG
• Optimistic
• Hardworking
• Compassionate
• Generous
• Strong Minded
• Resourceful
• Charismatic
• Focused
• Open Minded
• Dedicated
• Decisive
• Thinks Outside The Box
• Tactical
• Good Speaker
• Not Biased
• Happy
• Truthful
