Quotes from This Episode

• "but at adolescence, if we could get more people thinking more broadly about leadership, broadly defined, I think it would be very, very useful."
• "...but the kids who are more outgoing, who might have early verbal skills would be the ones you might see taking the leadership roles." 
•  "...and one of the things we noticed in this data set of about 1000 people was, young people have very stereotyped views of what leaders do."
