The cool leader's manual

Tips on how to lead right

Your thoughts (25)

Are you the oldest child at home?

Are you a class captain at school?

Are you the one your friends automatically look up to lead them?

How do you handle this position?

There is a popular quote that says “power corrupts , absolute power corrupts absolutely”. Meaning being in power can sometimes make you act in a way that is not acceptable.

Being the head most times can be nice. You are in charge.

You can order people around. No one questions you.

You can order your younger ones to do all the chores. You can decide to eat the meat you are meant to share with your younger one.

As a leader of your group you can decide to always take the lead role.

You think you can get away with all these because you are older or the leader.

The truth is nothing is permanent.

Being a leader is about team spirit. It is about finding a way to get support from the people following you. A leader is respected and not feared.

As the leader or older sibling you are meant to serve. You are meant to show the people listening to you how to be better.


A good leader won’t bully or take advantage of people under them.

A good leader won’t abuse the power of their position.

A good leader is a team player and they give other group members the opportunity to take up roles. They don’t always take all the lead role.

Treat people the way you want them to treat you.

Hey Springster! Thanks for the comment. Please talk to your mum about this. Let her know that you need support and help from your siblings. She probably feels you are capable and that is why she feels you can do it all. Keeping quiet will not make her know what you are going through so please talk to her okay? We hope this helps
