If parents and kids can talk together, we won't have as much censorship because we won't have as much fear. • Communication = Essential • Before Slippery Rock • Struggled with it here • Will always struggle • Be good communicator and being a good listener are hand to hand • Stay up-to-date

6. A leader leads by example, whether he intends to or not. • Great Man Theory • "Great leaders are born, not made"? • You're either a natural born leader or you're not. The term "Great Man" was used because, at the time, leadership was thought of primarily as a male quality, especially in terms of military leadership.

7. Contingency theory • a class of behavioral theory that contend that there is no one best way of leading and that a leadership style that is effective in some situations may not be successful in others. • University Program Board • Vice President – President – Vice President • We change boards yearly, where one communication technique or style of leadership can change year to year.
