[quote=Anonymous]Haven’t read all the responses but my take on the interest in “leadership” is that it’s really more about initiative, does the student show that they can start or do things on their own? As the president of a club, can they come up with ideas or activities that others will engage in? As a team captain, can they demonstrate through their own excellence or apply their personality to motivate others? As an employee, did they seek out and apply for a job? Do they show up every day and demonstrate a work ethic to something in addition to school? I think there are a lot of ways to demonstrate leadership and that it’s a valid question. All of that said, I do believe some kids haven’t had as many opportunities to shine or are late bloomers. But I do think most kids and adults are able to find some way to demonstrate leadership as it relates to their interests and passions and I understand why schools look for this.[/quote]
