Welcome to Boy Scout Troop 45's Home Page (The Best of the Best)
Setting the Example The most persuasive Leadership skill is the personal example of the leader. A good leader sets a positive example in these ways: 1. Following instructions. 2. Trying hard. * The leader must work as hard as--if not harder than--any member of the group. 3. Showing initiative. * A good leader must do what has to be done without waiting to be told or forced to act. 4. Acting with maturity. * An effective leader shows good judgment. 5. Knowing the job. * Generally, a leader should have a mastery of the skills to be used. * If not, the leader must apply the resources of the group toward achieving the task. 6. Keeping a positive attitude. * A positive attitude is very important. * Enthusiasm is contagious. Role models are an important method in Boy Scouting. * Boys often will copy the actions and behaviors of leaders they like and admire. * Boys will literally walk, talk, and act as the example set by the leaders of the troop.
