Abstract

The best leaders are learners. They study, analyze, and emulate those who have lit the path to leadership for them. I have had the privilege of learning from and carrying the torch for the exceptional leaders of Character Lab, a nonprofit founded by scientist Dr. Angela Duckworth and educators Dave Levin and Dominic Randolph. Character Lab is a nonprofit organization that connects researchers with educators to create greater knowledge about the conditions that lead to character development for young people throughout the country.
