Power and Responsibility

Read about: Abraham Lincoln, “Second Inaugural Address and Lt. Jimmy Cross in O’Brien’s “The Things They Carried.”  Consider the examples of leadership you have read, from Abraham Lincoln to the challenges of personal leadership experienced by Lt. Jimmy Cross in O’Brien’s “The Things They Carried.”   Now imagine you’ve been asked to host a leadership workshop for your workplace, division, or community group.  How would you use the examples of leadership shown in this chapter to teach your audience or to illustrate key points of your presentation?  What other examples–whether modern or historical, real, or imagined–would you use?  How would those examples further emphasize what you teach your audience?
