As you work through the Providing Leadership workbook (Providing Leadership - Information - Youth Leadership and Volunteering - The England Football Community (thefa.com)), it’s clear that great leadership goes beyond simply managing—it’s about inspiring, setting high standards, giving constructive feedback, and fostering an inclusive culture where everyone thrives.

• Which part of the workbook helped you reflect on your own leadership style?
• How do you approach giving feedback confidently while keeping it constructive and supportive?
• What strategies have you found effective in setting high standards and creating a culture of inclusion within your team?

Use this space to share your experiences and strategies for providing strong leadership in football or any setting. By opening up about what’s worked (and even what hasn’t!), we can all grow and empower those around us to be their best.
