Lessons in Leadership from Serving Youth: Why Listening Became My Strongest Skill by Jett Harris of Fort Smith
As noted by Jett Harris of Fort Smith, I once thought leadership meant setting the pace and staying in control. A good leader should speak with confidence and keep everyone moving. When I began volunteering with youth, I expected to teach helpful skills and provide direction. I did not expect the experience to change me. Yet it did, and it gave me lasting lessons in leadership I still rely on.
