Embracing Diversity

Leaders know and are happy that every person is a little different! Leaders work hard to make sure that everyone knows that it is okay to be different from each other and that sharing different ideas will make a group stronger.

Leaders are especially interested in getting to know and learning about people who are different from them, including people with different abilities and disabilities, people from different cultures, and people who seem different for other reasons.

Some people are very outgoing and willing to share themselves and their ideas, while others are sometimes shy or even afraid to say what they really think in a group. Leaders help everyone in a group feel comfortable, and this helps groups to be successful.
