Quotation from Paul Young, PhD: "Positive attitude, common sense, competence, grit, initiative, integrity, reliability, respect, professionalism, gratitude. Without them, you can't be an exceptional leader in any field. Leaders must possess effective speaking, listening, writing, and organizational skills."

Paul Young, author of the Gryphon House book Lead the Way, lists the qualities leaders should possess, whether in the after school field or in education in general. Are there any qualities you would add to the list?
