"Selecting a role model nurtures qualities in yourself. Seek a mentor who makes you excited for your work or excels in your weak areas. Then mimic your mentor's moves until they become yours." - J. Richard Shell
The best role model I had for a supervisor was Rusty Schopp. The man worked hard, took a genuine interest in people, and had a sense of humor that was both side-splitting and respectful of others. These days I look around at great historical figures like Lincoln, or energetic young leaders in my own community. And maybe, in time, I pass along the best of all of these people to those I'm privileged to teach.
