Leadership in relation with others
Content
Before you start with this learning playlist it is worth it to complete the Personal pathway to leadership Learning Playlist. Preceding playlist mostly focuses on the “I” in becoming an effective leader - your personal pathway to become a leader.
Before making an effective influence, in a team, in a group of people, or in your City of Learning you need to have a foundation of independence, for example knowing what your paradigms and principles are, being aware of the road you want to travel and what your personal destination is. The personal pathway is something that you can keep developing and work on through your whole life. It will grow your self-esteem, self knowledge and give you a foundation to cope and manage when more difficult times arise. The place where to start building any relationship is within yourself.
Ok, then now the step into the Relationship with others Leadership Pathway.
What can you expect in this Learning Playlist? The content is based on habit 4, 5, 6, and 7 of Stephen Covey’s book ‘The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People’ and has been specifically created for young people who are joining the Cities of Learning Network and taking part in the Youth Pathways to Leadership course Volume 2.
Do you want to develop further in recognising what is needed for you to be a team player or role model for your peers? Understanding what you personally need to do to achieve what you want for your community, then let's start. We can do it! We can cooperate! We can combine our talents and create something greater together!
Activities in this learning playlist are
- Relational Deposit: which is all about investing in your relationships
- Think Win-Win - A win-Win situation or result is one that is good for anybody involved.
- Seek First to Understand, then to be Understood - This is when you empathically understand someone else before seeking to be understood in human relationships.

By being within a new environment or seeing a lot of friends for a long time, speaking a different language than your mother tongue, there is a big possibility that you want to be everywhere, meet everybody, and party as much as possible. This strategy probably feels exciting - for a while -. But you can’t keep it up for the long term. And beyond that, the tiredness that you will get sets a negative route for your learning experience. Being part of this training is not a sprint, you need a clear mind and healthy body to learn, manage your emotions, and be able to focus.
- How will I achieve that balance of mind and healthy body?
- And how will I preserve the greatest asset that I have? ME!
Start by prioritising your time on the most important things to do (see also habit 3). And keep in mind that one of those most important things is self-care! Many people define 4 dimensions to work on self-care or renewal:
- Physical: caring for your physical body via having your needed exercise, eating healthy food and reducing stress
- Spiritual: making time to think about and work on your values and mission,
- Mental: To keep going with learning for example via reading or writing
- Social/Emotional: Doing some social service, creating synergy among people or take care about your own intrinsic safety feeling
At the end of the day make sure to reflect on your learning, but also to check out how you preserve your greatest asset YOU! And plan for tomorrow the things that worked out well for you or how to do it even better.
Participants of this activity can earn badges that belong to Global Youth Skills competence framework from Institute for the Future, specifically the skills zones:
