\"Students<\/a>Children and adults need to experience leadership roles throughout their lives in order to develop to their own set of strengths. Many people do not fully experience the opportunity to lead others for various reasons. Those who naturally have an innate desire to lead get the most experience, but what about those who shy away from leadership, or just are not sure where to begin?
