I must agree that she is an inspiration! Someone having such a global impact at such a young age is incredible. Furthermore, the fact that her influence has lasted far beyond that of a Youtube cycle speaks to Yousafzai&#8217;s character and chosen cause of education for girls.<\/p>\n<p>In her post Alphine says, \u201cIt is easy to be a leader who just goes with the flow. But to be a leader having strength of will, character and firmness of purpose is not everyone\u2019s cup of tea\u201d (Alphine, 2018). Yousafzai is a great example of a leader with these values. She has exercised these values as she has fought for something much larger than herself. I think these values require a fight; not only for a cause, but the leader must also fight within themselves to uphold these values in their own life and leadership. Character, will and purpose all come at a cost, which is probably why they are \u201cnot everyone\u2019s cup of tea\u201d (Alphine 2018). This serves a great reminder to me that if I want to be a leader who exemplifies these values I must be willing to fight for them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>References:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Alphine, Georgeena.
