Talking Points
- Leadership is about guiding and inspiring others. You can be a leader by setting a good example and helping others. Remember, "A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way." - John C. Maxwell
- Good leaders listen to others and consider different opinions. It's important to be a good listener and treat everyone with respect. As Mahatma Gandhi said, "I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people."
- Leadership involves making tough decisions sometimes. It's okay to make mistakes as long as you learn from them. Thomas Jefferson once said, "I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it."
