The world needs good leaders--we need bright, invested, honest, collaborative leaders in every pocket of society. All of us need to hone our leadership skills and lead well in our roles great and small. As educators, we have to help our students develop their leadership skills as well by fostering their ability to think independently, work together, and lead each other ahead.
With this need in mind, we have to watch our talk about leadership. Rather than saying, who would want that job or I would never do that when it comes to leadership, we need to encourage and promote those leadership roles as roles critical to the well being of families, communities, states, and nations.
We need good leaders, and we have to support what it takes to promote that leadership in every pocket of the world we live in.
