Should we expect others to grow as leaders?

I expect my students and children to grow as leaders because I know I won't be there all the time when problems come. They have to step in and face them bravely as leaders of their lives. I believe if we instill leadership characters from early beginnings, they will become great leaders in the future. I'm not talking becoming a president or the Pope, but just have the courage to lead their lives to a lot of possibilities and opportunities.
