Learning how to be a leader also requires an individual to have a good moral value system. Moral values include a strong ethical value, strong integrity, being trustworthy, having creditability. A good leader must carry humility and have compassion for other people and also have the ability to forgive others. Teaching these values are challenging because, not every person is capable of learning these virtues and then carrying them out successfully. The level of emotional intelligence a leader must have, cannot be taught to people who do not have the human capability of changing their views in life and value system. There must be a genuine desire to be a leader, and the general desire to be motivated, to step up to a higher level of accomplishing a goal. Even though a person can learn the different ways to become a leader, the actual capability of being a successful leader, lies within each persons ability to be able to carry out the leadership principles. I do not believe that just because a person is taught the many different principles of being a leader, qualifies them to being a leader. A leader must have the confidence within them-self to be a leader and I do not believe that teaching confidence, automatically gives an individual confidence.
Teaching a person how to visualize the future of certain goals and teaching a person how to “brainstorm” different ideas to achieve a goal must be accomplished. A level of intelligence must be carried within each individual before, leadership can be taught. I do not believe that every person possesses the intelligence to be taught how to be a leader.

Teaching a person how to communicate and to work as a team can be compiled into a lesson plan, but each individual must have the personality and desire to be able to take action and lead other people. A leader must have excellent creditability and respect among people
they lead. A leader influences the moods of other people and creates the atmosphere and expectations for other people.
Not every person has the capability to take charge of a situation and to make the necessary changes to lead people to a common goal. A level of respect is required from other people before a person can be a leader. Respect, is a quality that is earned and not learned. Leadership is often referred to as being a quality that is “born in people.” Not everyone has the desire to be a leader or the maturity
