Through Students & Leaders, you will
explore lessons on leadership and public service. In the following
features you can study lessons on leadership from various people in
public life using video segments from C-SPAN's online archives. As
you learn about leaders and the issues they face consider the
following questions: Who are leaders? What makes a person a
good leader? Is leadership a job, a role, a perspective, or
something else?
As you engage in these activities about leadership an
important related concept is the common
good. This is
the idea that people have commonly shared
interests. Examples of these interests may be things like
liberty, prosperity, and justice. This concept is often accompanied
by the notion that leaders should act with the goal of making things
better for everyone. The challenge of striving to meet the
common good in practice is that it may mean many different things to
different people.
