Introduction

Justice is a leadership quality that means treating others in a way that is fair. Tact is also a leadership quality. The quality of consistently treating people and communities with respect and courtesy is a sign of maturity. Tact allows ideas and opinions to be expressed in a constructive and beneficial manner while justice ensures outcomes are fair.

Why might using tact while being fair be important to help you achieve your goals?

How might you use tact while being fair and this week? What might the results of your actions be?

Critical Thinking

Consider the following situation on your own: You meet the new supervisor for your team. You think she seems really great, and you are excited to learn from her. One of your teammates says, “She isn’t very smart, she can’t even speak proper English.”

What do you do? Try to think of a few different things you could do (positive, negative, and neutral). What might the results of your actions be?

Collaboration

For a small group, eeach student presents their ideas to the whole class. Provide opportunity for positive feedback from peers or support if they are struggling to think of ideas.

For a larger group, divide students into small groups and have students present their ideas to the small group. Provide opportunity for positive feedback from peers or support if they are struggling to think of ideas.
