Form small groups of four to six members. Discuss the “ideal” group leader. Each group is to address not only the specific duties leaders should perform but also the communicative skills leaders should exhibit and the ethical principles they should both exhibit and uphold. Each group should create a “Guidelines for Group Leaders” manual that could be distributed to student leaders at your school.

Discuss each group’s guidelines to determine which ones tend to be common to all groups. Why do you think these tend to be the most common?
