Leaders are all around us and within us as well! The president of the United States; the governor of our state; the priest, rabbi, cleric, minister, or spiritual leader of a local place of worship; the captain of a school sports team; a teacher or adult mentor we respect; our parents and guardians; and we ourselves are all leaders in one form or another.
