Giving “Props” to Team Members

When a team succeeds at a task, instead of just having a boy explain what he did to achieve success, ask him to explain what the other people contributed and identify why the project could not have been completed without each identified contribution. This template requires a boy to express gratitude and recognize that all accomplishment is rooted in collaboration with others. It also demonstrates that giving praise and recognition is an important part of being a leader. It is recommended that each member of a successful team fill out the sheet and then publicly recognize the others in the group.
