We began a chapter about building strong communities. We talked about the way people can make a difference and can work together with governments by giving their opinions and volunteering their time. We discussed schools, businesses, the environment and how people work with leaders to care for, respect, protect, and build organizations, businesses, and systems to improve them. This led to a discussion about the qualities of good leaders. I encouraged Richard to think about those qualities he thinks make for a good leader and the ways he could be a good leader in his community.
