Prior toassembling, print out leadership quotes (in a large, easy to read font) and stick them on the walls, remembering to keep a fair distance between each quote. Now once the group has assembled, ask them to move around the room reading the various quotes you have pasted on the walls. Once they have read all the quotes, ask them to choose a quote which they think matches with what they view as a good, effective leader. Once everyone has chosen a quote, ask them to describe what the quote means and whatmade them choose that particular quote. Write down the traits that emerge, which can be used as reflective material for the entire group on what goes into making a good, effective leader.
