Instructions

Start by thinking about the qualities you believe make an excellent leader. Write them down on small cards or pieces of paper. Feel free to get creative and add more words if you want!
Now, gather your group and explain the activity to them. Share your leadership adjectives and invite them to contribute their ideas too! Remember, there's no right or wrong answer – it's all about sharing perspectives.

Together, arrange the cards in the shape of a pyramid on a whiteboard or a magnetic board. Start with the most important leadership quality at the top and build downwards. Collaborate and listen to each other's opinions.

After constructing the pyramid, discuss the debriefing questions with your friends. Share how difficult or easy it was to describe a great leader. Also, talk about two leaders you admire and why they inspire you.

Now comes the fun part! Challenge yourself and your friends to become great leaders. Think about how you can apply these leadership qualities in your daily life and make a positive difference in your community.

Feel free to add more adjectives to the pyramid as you grow and learn. You can also share the names of leaders you admire on the board.

Celebrate your teamwork and the diverse range of leadership qualities you explored together. Remember, leadership comes in many forms, and each of you has the power to be a changemaker!

Keep the spirit of leadership alive in your group and inspire each other to lead with empathy, courage, and creativity. Who knows, you might become the next great leader in your community! Or maybe you already are!

After you finish the activity, use these questions to have a brief discussion with your team:
How difficult is it to describe a great leader?
Can you share two examples of leaders that you find great?
What can you do to be a great leader?
