question-
How can leadership be impacted by the different relationships within your service? Provide one example of this, explaining where and how a relationship could potentially impact the way somebody enacts leadership

I am unsure about this question

Do you mean like if friends work together they might just talk about there social life and not do there job correct
If sisters work together they might fight and not get on?

Is this on track-
This is my answer

The way leadership could be impacted by the different relationships within the service could be by two siblings working together in the same room and work place. There are times when siblings work alongside each other and cause difficulties for fellow co- workers, but at the same time conflict can occurs between family members because they have a different point of view or beliefs on a certain situation or when there is a misunderstanding and one person jumps to the wrong conclusion and this result in having an argument. Competitions between two siblings can definitely worsen the issue as they try to be better than each other- in this case one sibling is promoted or become a room leader then the behaviour can turn into jealously and if the conflict occurs between the two siblings the company has a responsibility to address the issue.
• Educator Tracey and educator Leanne are sisters working together in the pre-kinder room and they had a conversation about changing the program wall around making it more inviting for parents to read. Educator Tracey said “We should make the program wall colourful and it might attract more parents to read the program, educator Leanne said “No, I think we should make the wall a natural look and it will fit in with our furniture and room”.
By educator Tracey and educator Leanne providing each other with ideas educator Tracey comprised by using natural colours for the program wall and placing a heading that said program in different colours for each letter. By comprising the situation this saved the two siblings to start conflict.
