Continue to grow your emotional intelligence and understanding of culture; your ability to inspire will evolve. As a young leader, you can set an example for everyone around you, no matter their age or experience.

Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. — I Timothy 4:12
