Leadership development
Leadership
We support children develop their ability to serve others in an authentic way.
Our approach to leadership development
We want children to become productive and happy citizens that play an active role in their communities. We do this in four ways: inspiring and motivating, stimulate creativity and innovation, develop role models and build capacity for coaching and mentoring.
Our work is conducted in a psychologically safe, warm environment, where adult support is constantly available.
Inspiration and motivation
We support children to pursue and share their interests, leading on activities, with support from adults, that may motivate and inspire their peers.
We support children to provide meaning and challenge through our co-creation work. Team spirit is harnessed, children become enthusiastic, envision scenarios where they are able to excel. As part of this children communicate clearly to engage followers and demonstrate commitment to their vision.
Intellectual stimulation
We pursue excellence in academic and enrichment activities. Inevitably we encounter challenges. We support children in creative problem solving, leading to novel, and sometimes innovative, work.
We support children to use critical thinking and resilience to venture beyond the initial fear they may have of working outside their comfort zone. Children hold each other to account for mistakes and get everyone involved in correcting them.
Influence
We support children to develop agency, their ability to act positively to generate learning and growth, and become role models for their peers. Children should feel respected and trusted by their peers and adults around them. To earn this respect and trust, children should consider the needs of others, share risk with participants in activities they are leading, distribute power and responsibility to others, and consistently do the right thing.
Individualising
We support children to develop an understanding of the needs of others, personalising peer support through coaching and mentoring. Children should recognise the individual differences and needs of others. The activities they lead should be supportive with opportunities to learn. Participants in those activities should feel accepted.
