Episode Synopsis

Do humble people make good leaders?
To most students leadership is about confidence, being in front of the crowd, setting the example, and showing the way. Some assume that to be good leader you have to act the part, maintain that confident edge and undying belief in your own abilities. Another way to secure that edge is to be humble, and convince yourself that you haven't succeeded yet, there's more work to do. A humble attitude could be the key to leadership.
Join Steve and Dan Fouts, and past president of the National Council for the Social Studies Stephanie Wager, and teacher Nadia Moreno for a conversation about how different cultures value unique leadership skills.
