Often students coming from FLL have exhibited these traits. In younger children dominant personalities often take over teams. It is a wise mentor who recognizes these children and nurtures them to become strong team players. A mentor could take this student on the side and explain how he is perceived by others and recommend a few steps he can take to improve things. As we all know a leader needs training and a wise leader knows when to listen and when to talk. His mentor might also point out how valuable he could be if he assisted rather than leading. Help him to understand the joy of watching others learn what he already knows.
