Leadership in You List the characteristics of a leader. For each characteristic, give an example of someone who displays this characteristic (personal or historical). How are you a leader? In what areas are you currently a leader? In what areas do you want to become a leader?

The Leader as a Catalyst for Change Think about a leader (in school, in your culture…) whom you respect. Why do you respect him or her? What qualities make this leader outstanding? What accomplishments of leaders do you admire (historically or currently)? What are ways leaders promote or enable change?
