Men are Better Leaders Women in high-level leadership positions‚ such as corporate CEOs‚ when studied‚ seem to exhibit the same sorts of leadership behaviors as their male counterparts.

Why adults are better learners than kids (So NO‚ you’re not too old) Kids are great! I was an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher for several years in several countries‚ teaching mostly children‚ and I could see how quick they were at learning a second language. Of course‚ who of us doesn’t want to go back to our childhood‚ when things were simpler and the world was full of endless possibilities (which too many people claim it somehow isn’t any more…)?

Two main characters‚ Ralph and Jake‚ at the beginning of the story become leaders‚ however their leadership ideas are entirely different. These boys have less in common than in distinction‚ but I will try to compare them in the light of similarities as well as differences. The first thing similar is that‚ when they start to be aware of the
