[quote=Anonymous]First, tell her parents that when they ask how she can be a leader, they are undermining her ability to be one. Then encourage her to think not in terms of Being a Leader, which tends to get fetishized these days, and instead think about what's important to her and how she can contribute. Real leaders don't decide to be leaders. They decide to learn how to work well with others, and that makes others want to follow them. Or not -- mathematically, the world is going to have more followers than leaders. But a productive follower is more useful than someone who's in love with the concept of leadership. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/24/opinion/sunday/not-leadership-material-good-the-world-needs-followers.html?action=click&pgtype=Homepage®ion=CColumn&module=MostEmailed&version=Full&src=me&WT.nav=MostEmailed[/quote]
