 "Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."-Ralph Waldo Emerson

We live in a world governed by people skills and interpersonal skills. More so, leadership skills are rare to come by. Granted not everyone is born to be a leader, nevertheless, the essential skills required to become a leader can easily be inculcated especially at a young age. Leadership stems from the ability to work in a team, listen to others, communicate effectively,  and have a commanding personality. 

However, leadership skills can be easily inculcated in children by teaching them how to communicate effectively and listening to opinions. This requires a ton of patience, which children often lack.

Therefore, to inculcate leadership skills, children must be given small tasks or responsibilities by which they will learn accountability, honesty and good behaviour.
