1|Pa ge
 Stick with the Goal
This activity aims to provide you with an avenue to manifest leadership or followership skills, which are vital in realizing common goals. Another
objective is to emphasize the importance of communication in relating with others.
Materials: Old newspaper, masking tape, a piece of paper for each team, pens or markers
Instructions:
1. Form a group with five members. Each group will be given a piece of paper and two leaves from an old newspaper.
2. In two minutes, make a team goal and write it on a piece of paper. Using the masking tape, create a starting and a finish line, approximately 6 meters
apart. Tape your team goal at the finish line.
3. You have to reach your goal from the starting to the finish line by spreading the two leaves of newspaper side by side. All group members’ right foot
must be on one leaf and the other foot on the other leaf. Make sure that you do not step on the ground. Move forward, and make sure not to tear the
newspaper.
4. The group who reaches the goal with more intact newspaper leaves wins the race.
During the game, roles emerge to facilitate group functioning and affect the dynamics of the group. Efficiency in realizing the common goals is
influenced by how each member accepts the roles that he or she plays.

3. Instruction or Delivery
Social Relationships in Middle and Late Adolescence
There are various individuals in our community whom we look up to for many reasons. They do different roles that help shape our neighborhood.
We look up to people for several reasons. For example, we admire community leaders because they organize activities for the welfare of the youth,
parents, senior citizens, and other members of the community. We look up to some people because they exemplify deeds that show responsibility,
strength, and productivity. We look up to some people because they do their tasks with commitment. Here are some people we usually admire.
1. Teachers – We admire our teachers for being dedicated in their work and for planting the seeds of wisdom in our minds.
2. Doctors – We respect doctors because they help us take care of our body.
3. Policemen and policewomen – They are admirable because they protect us and keep our neighborhood safe.
4. Firemen – We respect these people for being there whenever there is a disaster.
5. Dentists – We admire dentists because they promote oral health.
Indeed, the people we admire influence us in many ways. We may be unaware of how they do so, but we have experienced changes in our
attitudes, goals, and values as we see and work with them.

Leadership
Acting the role of a leader is a very powerful way of influencing others. But what is leadership, and what does it mean to be a leader? Leadership
is a relationship among leaders and followers, which is influential in effecting change and realizing common goals. Leadership involves creating
change, which should be substantive to arrive at an outcome that both leaders and followers worked for.
Three Leadership Styles:
1. Autocratic Leadership – This leadership style centralizes in authority. The autocratic leader derives power from the position, controls rewards, and
uses coercion to make his or her group members follow. He or she is aloof and focuses exclusively on the task at hand.
2. Democratic Leadership – A democratic leader delegates authority to others, asks for suggestions, and discusses plans with members. He or she
depends on the respect of his or her members for influence.

 3. Laissez-faire Leadership – A laissez-faire leader leaves the group to its own capacity to finish its tasks. He or she intervenes minimally.
Democratic leaders have been proven to be liked and admired more than autocratic or laissez-faire leaders, because they create an
atmosphere that is open and not hostile, task-oriented, and group-centered. This atmosphere is associated with high productivity. On the other hand,
autocratic leadership results in a hostile, dependent, and self-oriented group environment, associated with high productivity when the leader is
present. Laissez-faire leaders create a friendly, group-centered yet play-oriented atmosphere, relative to low productivity.

Followership
The role of a follower is equally important in the realization of a group’s common goal. For a society to be peaceful, orderly, and productive,
members must be willing to follow. Even leaders must be willing to shift into and out of their role under certain circumstances to influence change in
their followers and achieve common goals. The relationship between leaders and followers should show reciprocity or the mutual exchange of
influence. Leaders influence followers, and, at the same time, followers influence leaders.
The following are some of the things expected from an effective follower:
1. A make-it-happen attitude. Leaders expect results from their followers as they do not need excuses.
2. A willingness to collaborate. Collaboration is important in the realization of the common goal.
3. The passion to drive your own growth. Leaders seek for followers who want to develop themselves.

4. Practice
Activity 1: My Superhero!
This activity aims to help you identify the different individuals in your community and how they influence you through their leadership and
followership.
Instructions:
1. Think of the individuals in your community who make it a better place. These persons can be any of your barangay officials, school teachers or
principal, or priest/pastor. Choose one whom you admire and who has influenced you to be like him or her in the future. For example, you probably
admire your barangay kagawad for having aggressively promoted the welfare of the youth in your barangay. Another example is you have been
closely influenced by your teacher in values education and you have an interest to be like him or her.
2. Interview your chosen person about his or her position and the ways that he or she fulfills the role. Include identifying data, accomplishments,
challenges, and ways in overcoming the challenges.
3. Using the data you have gathered regarding the person, be creative in making a video about that person so that others can see his or her exemplary
values. Submit the video to your teacher.

5. Enrichment

In this class project, you will come up with a profile of the leaders in your school organizations. It also aims to familiarize you on how to
