Leadership Styles and Influence
Distinguish different leadership styles (directive, democratic, servant, transformational) and understand when each is appropriate; understand that influence in a group comes with responsibility, and explore the difference between leading through inspiration versus coercion; practise inclusive leadership: actively creating space for quieter voices and diverse perspectives; understand the ethics of influence and the boundary between persuasion and manipulation; explore concepts of consent and coercion in peer relationships; reflect on what kind of influence they want to have in their communities

If your child were leading a group project where one person was dominating all the decisions, can they describe two different leadership approaches they could take and explain why the most authoritative person in a group isn't always the best leader?
