If you have to second-guess your outfit, don’t wear it
You should always dress “one up” from your audience
Tips On Beeing A Leader
Proper Dressing for an occasion helps you develop leadership because it shows Professionalism.
Know the attire
For example, if you are leading a presentation in a Kiwanis DCM dress semiformal or Business Casual.
If you have doubts about your outfit, don’t wear it, as it’s better be cautious than to get a bad first impression.

The more you know, the more your audience will know
BEE prepared to answer any questions
Ask the questions that members don’t know how to ask
Education
Education is an important characteristic of leadership as President John J. Kennedy said, (say quote)
Research everything you need to know
Is always better to know more about something before hand than to figure out everything in the last minute
Always have answers to questions
Always expect the unexpected
“Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.”
- John F. Kennedy

11. Teamwork Communicate Separate task work Set goals
Express ideas and viewpoints
BEE open-minded
Give constructive criticism
Separate task work
Use Team’s strengths to your advantage
TRUST your team members
Do not try to take on all the work
Push Team members to take reasonable risk
Teamwork
Being a leader means being able to work with others.
If you cannot communicate your thoughts, nothing will get done. Plan ahead and set goals!
When it comes to discussion, be sure to all everyone to express their ideas and viewpoints. You may disagree, but remember to stay respectful and open-minded. If you shut someone down for speaking their mind, they are less inclined to share again.
All criticism should be constructive and help the individual GROW.
Delegate and split the workload! Each team member has different strengths and weaknesses. Utilize each person’s strengths!
Taking on all the work may seem like the easiest option or the safest option, but you have to trust that the team will be able to accomplish their work.

12. Teamwork
Do not feel like you are alone! You have tons of people to help you!
You are part of a team where people are there to help!
They are available to help you reach your goals and you are there to help them as well!
Don’t be afraid to delegate work.
Don’t be afraid as you have people who are wiling to give aid
If you are an officer especially the President remember that you have a team set up to aid you in anything
“Delegating work works, providing the one delegating works, too.”
- Robert Half
