1. What do leaders offer that causes people to want to follow them? Do people trust you enough to follow you as their leader? -- Leaders often offer what is most scarce. So if you offer what most people can't do people will be drawn to you. I think I could definitely use some work in this area. I feel like I am not confident enough in myself to be seen as a leader. Though, I do feel like I am trustworthy as a person.
2. Consider the idea that "leadership rises based upon providing the scarcest resource." rewrite this concept in your own words. Next, identify what resource you have that is scarce. -- I view this statement as saying that you can tell who a true leader is because they have what everyone else wants or is to afraid to do. People look as them as leaders because that is how they want to be someday. I think the resources that I have that is scarce is my optimism. I feel like I have the ability to always look on the bright side of things and I feel like a lot of people in life lack this trait.
3. Can you name some other historical leaders or current leaders who have earned the right to be followed? -- Some historical leaders that have earned the right to be followed would be people like Michael Jordan, Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs. They have all provided abilities that not a lot of people have and by that they have created a trust with their peers.
