Leadership Knows No Age

Leadership Knows No Age

My former teammate at Wabash College and former assistant coach at Brownsburg High School, Antoine Carpenter, taught me that it didn't matter if a basketball player was a freshman, sophomore, junior, or a senior.  If he was good, if he could produce, if he worked hard, if he was coachable, if he was a leader - let him lead. Moreover, we should expect him to lead and produce!

This developed into the phrase: Leadership Knows No Age

It doesn't matter if you are 5 or 95, one can make a difference!

We as adults have to train our kids to be leaders. The first step is to model this!  We also must keep in mind that our children shouldn't be mere compliant bodies that do what we adults say. They should be people that know no limits!

Byron Garrett of Huffpost writes in his article "Inspiring Leadership in Kids of all Ages" that we should teach kids about social emotional learning, decision making, consequences, and teamwork to help them become these limitless thinkers, leaders, and doers!
