FOR LYLE

Leadership is really something your born with, in my opinion. Adoph Hitler was a leader, but in the wrong way! An individual that becomes a great leader just seem to possess all the tangibles, good student (most of the time), intelligence, a natural ability to make men believe in him and to follow him.
But, the intangibles that one is born with can't be taught, in my opinion. Toughness, courage, moral courage, a real feeling for others above himself first. To teach these things is almost impossible, you either have them or you don't. We had leaders in the military that inspired you to want to follow them anywhere, while we had others I wouldn't want to follow across the street.

When all is said and done, I really believe that teaching a young man to lead by example is the best way. To exemplify at all times his training, his abilities to deal with each situation as it arises, and to motivate those who are watching to go beyond the normal call of duty.
