Teamwork & Leadership
📋 What it is
Good teamwork means listening, sharing the load fairly, and using each person’s strengths toward one goal.
🗣️ Coach says
Leadership isn’t bossing — it is helping a group work well together: making sure everyone is heard, splitting tasks by strengths, and keeping the goal clear. The same EF skills apply to a group as to yourself: plan the steps, start, and stay flexible. A great teammate lifts the whole team’s "executive function".
🧠 Memory hook
Lead by LISTENING + sharing the load by strengths + keeping the goal clear. Not bossing — helping.
