2.4.3  Leading

Leading is directing, influencing and motivating a team. At the community level, the health delivery system includes various community groups, such as model households, volunteers and development workers. As a Health Extension Practitioner you are a leader and you will play a leading role in working with these groups, to carry out the different activities involved in maintaining community health. You need also to create an environment that encourages your teams to do their best work so their performance inspires other members of the community.
