What is it about?

When thinking about how they learned to lead people are far and away most likely to identify a family member as their most important role model. Workplace role models are also important, such a an immediate supervisor/manager, coworker/colleague, and business leader. Potential role models with whom people are unlikely to have a personal relationship with (e.g., religious, political, and community leaders, as well as professional athletes, entertainers and actors) are infrequently seen as important role models for learning how to lead. There are some significant differences in role models selected on the basis of demographic factors.
