I think too much failure can be detrimental for a developing leader; especially if a lot of failure comes at an impressionable age. People can only take so much. If an aspiring leader constantly tries and puts in a lot of effort, and fails- it is tough. I think motivation is crucial for a good leader. How can someone motivate themselves to keep trying if all they do is fail? I know this is an extreme case, but people build up situations in their minds. People distort reality all the time. Too much failure can make some people think that all they will do is fail. No effective leader can go into any situation with that mindset.
To go along with this, I think a weak support system is a negative for an aspiring leader. If you surround yourself with people who only bring you down, how can you surpass your own expectations and succeed? Constantly being around trouble makers and people with weak morals only create more obstacles. Hanging with those who want to reach their full potential and strive to get ahead in life will help you do the same. Listening to your parents, and choosing your friends wisely eliminate so many complications in life. We here at St. Norbert are fortunate enough to be around other students who come from good backgrounds and have a strong moral fibers for the most part. There are very few kids here that pull others down with them.
