[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in my 50s and watching people my age and younger struggle to hone any type of true leadership skills. Anecdotal only, but the only people I know who are good leaders, service leaders, are ex military. I'd support my son with whatever career path he chooses. But would be happy to see him learn what a true leader is. [/quote] What about scouts? I feel like my kid is learning a lot of leadership skills in scouts. By 11 he already went to weekend planning events where they planned out the entire year, including all events, what topics they would discuss at meetings, what skills they would learn. Then he has to lead topics and discussions and assign jobs. He even has to deal with personnel issues between members of his patrol. And scouts also teaches many other skills (survival, cooking, etc). There are other ways to learn to be a true leader that don't involve the military. [/quote]
