Tips:

• Remember to use leadership traits from Module 2: Integrity, Discipline, Perseverance, Commitment, Empowering, Communication, Confidence, Empathy, Creativity, Delegate, Reflection.
• Fighting for a democracy is not the same thing as having a democratic leadership style. Please review Module 2.
• References would include people around a leader on a regular basis who could verify the leader's character and leadership. Aside from family, who could fit those qualifications?

Need More Information?  

Many Americans identify leaders as those that are in charge of or in front of groups and/or organizations. Now that you have learned more about leadership, you know that leadership is not based on position but on mindset and action. Lesson 1 introduces you to well-known American leaders as well as those who are not.  When you study leaders, remember to apply the leadership traits and styles you have learned and not just look at fame or notoriety.  Take a look at The Atlantic's list of the 100 most influential American leaders of all time by clicking on the visual below.  Notice that these leaders were chosen with leadership concepts in mind and not just popularity.
