“Every child has an innate desire to be a leader, a tiny spark that has the potential to set the world on fire.” Explore I Can Be a Leader Too. This book beautifully encapsulates the qualities that are linked to effective leaders, teaching children the importance of listening, thoughtfulness, and expressing emotions. All these qualities are breeding grounds for an effective future leader.
This heartwarming book teaches kids that being a leader isn’t about being bossy or telling people what to do. It’s not about keeping an air of authority and arrogance, nor is it about keeping people under your feet. It’s about exhibiting qualities like being a good listener, saying “thank you,” and letting others know how you feel. Leadership is all about kindness and connection and maybe even getting people to clean up after themselves.
The idea proposed in this book is that leadership doesn’t demand unnecessary stunts of courage. Leadership is not a position; it’s a mindset that stays with you no matter where you are. It is about self-expression, individuality, and a heightened awareness of oneself and others.
Beyond these core actions, the book molds children’s mindset by showing them that leadership is rooted in empathy and understanding. “Empathy is the bridge that turns authority into influence.” Not everyone can truly empathize with others. It’s a gift that’s only obtained by fate but developed through hardships. Without empathy, leadership can feel distant, like a tower high above, unreachable, while empathy brings leaders down to ground level, where they can truly connect with people.
