Interview Protocol
Research Question: Describe an individual that you admire and consider a great leader. This individual can be someone from the past or someone that you admire today.
Interview Protocol
Maxwell (2004) stated that “If you can become the leader you ought to be on the inside, you will be able to become the person you want to be on the outside. People will want to follow you.” This is what makes a great leader, someone who believes in themself and know exactly who they are and this is a characteristic that shines from the inside out.
