What the lesson says

What are some ways to lead a group?

Sam is leading a group of four that is planning a bake sale.

Here are three common ways to lead.

First, the leader can decide and give each person a job.

This often works well when time is short.

Second, the leader can ask for ideas and let the group decide together.

Here, everyone votes on what to bake, and cookies win three to one.

This often works well when there is time to talk.

Third, the leader can let each person run their own part.

The leader still checks in and helps when needed.

This often works well when the group already knows how to do the job.

A good leader picks the way that fits the task and the group.

There are many ways to lead a group, so pick the one that fits.
