My Example

My father is a great example of a leader to me. I asked him a few questions about being a leader, and received some really good insight on how I can become a leader. When I asked him what he thought the qualities of a good leader are he said things like trustworthy, willing to show by example, confident, etc. While all of these are very important, I thought the most interesting quality he talked about was the fact that leaders need to have high expectations for their followers. I had never thought much about that before, but I can see now how important that would be. If a leader does not expect much of his or her followers, then that is what they will receive, but if they set their sights high the people who follow them will be more motivated to achieve that goal.
