It is very important that leadership starts at the youngest of ages and that parents play a key role in this development. However, the issue that many parents face is that they aren't able to teach leadership because they may not be practicing it in their own lives. They are employees under the control of their bosses, they are lambs of the church and when given the opportunity to take leadership roles they opt to let someone else take that role.

The most effective teachers of leadership are those who are taking active leadership roles that could be examples and re-enforcements that supplements teachings such as you've mentioned.

I remember seeing coaches trying to teach their players how to hit and they would say stay back, swing level, and be balanced; but how do they actually teach that. I learned that apart from just giving advice, many coaches do not possess the ability to actually show what they mean.

Thank you for the insight and the first start.
