What to prove		Statement		Examples to look for in the litter challenge
I can take responsibility		I have led in a team where I have a daily role.  I have remembered to do my job every day and sometimes when someone else in the team is away I have done their job without being told to. My team and I decided on the different roles and who should do them.  We change roles sometimes.		The area the team is responsible remains clear of litter every day for two weeks without fail even though sometimes people from the team may be absent.
I can manage the team		I make sure that everyone in our team knows what our team targets are.  I keep the group on task.  For evidence I could let you see a plan I have made that shows who is supposed to do what and by when OR a video/ audio of me getting the team working		The whole team are involved during the two weeks.  They always know when they are on duty and what you require them to do.  They are always in pairs to allow for any problems.
I can build team strengths		For level 4 you need evidence that you can put yourself in other people’s position and see THE SAME argument from two different sides.  When two people are arguing can you understand both points of view.  For evidence you could re-enact or explain when you used this skill to solve an argument in your team.		If there are arguments in the team about who is doing what, you settle these.  The team feel you have been fair and have not asked others to do what you were not willing to do.
I can evaluate the team		When someone in my team has a complaint about me, I listen to what they have to say, make lots of eye contact and see if I can agree with anything.  I thank them and don’t get cross.  I praise each person in my team very specifically (say exactly how and what they did well) and am honest and open about exactly what I have done well and badly.		In your report you describe what the team did well and what could have been improved.  You have found ways to praise everyone in your team for the role they have played in allowing you all to be successful.
