Creating philosophy of Leadership – writing down their thoughts about how they

saw leadership in the pictures.

Two philosophies of leadership to choose from:

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, You are a leader!

John Quincy Adams

You care about others more when you are a leader – It’s not all about me.

By John Maxwell

You can be a leader of a team and not have to be the

captain of the team.

Discussion was held about each philosophy of leadership with great ideas coming from both philosophies.

We are not born into authority, we can be born into position, but it does not make you a leader.

Which philosophy did you like better?

It was a 50/50split of the group.

John Quincy Adams did not live up to his quote.

Our history buff explains why John Quincy Adams did not practice what he preached, but he still liked

his quote best.

Leaders are not always good.

First group to bring forth a list of people who were negative leaders.
