A leader is someone who helps others know what to do and how to work together.
Imagine you're playing a game with your friends in the park, and no one knows what to do next. That’s when a leader steps up, maybe it's your best friend, and says, "Let's all run around the tree three times!" Everyone starts running because they trust that person to make a good choice.
What Makes Someone a Leader?
A leader doesn’t need to be the loudest or the fastest. They just need to know what’s next and help others follow them.
Sometimes, a leader is like the person who starts the game, they decide where to play, how many people are on each team, and when it's time to stop. Other times, a leader might be someone who says, "Wait! I think we can do this better!" and helps everyone improve.
Just like you can be a leader in your classroom or during a game, anyone can be a leader, if they know what to do and help others follow them.
