Leadership is a popular topic that permeates the culture of everything from corporations to elementary schools.  We are all told to be leaders.  Leadership is demanded at every turn.

But when did it all begin?  Why exactly must we all be leaders?  Should we all be leaders?  And do even know what leadership is?

Dr. J. Adam Lowe breaks down the the buzz word that so many throw around.

Some say millennials are ruining entitled, lazy, and self-absorbed.  Others argue that they might actually be the next greatest generation.  But aside from the debate, when did we start calling people millennials and why?  Are they ruining our world or making it better?

Bullies have been fixtures in almost every coming of age movie.  We know the scene where the wimpy kids finally stands up to a bully and makes them run away crying.  But is that actually how it works?  Recent initiatives have targeted bullies but do we agree on what bullying is?
