Paper 3: How Personal Relationships Support Duty, Virtue, and Leadership 
In this paper, we add a new dimension to our thinking about character and leadership. Up to this point, we have been thinking about character in individual terms. But we know (and the Founders knew) that your character is impacted by your peer group. 


In this assignment, you will take your first steps in connecting personal relationships to supporting duty and virtue in the midst of difficulty. Identify any two characters in Bennett’s Our Sacred Honor and explain (through their words) how supportive relationships assisted them in doing their duty, living up to their ideals, and the consequences that resulted from this relationship. You may compare two characters between the Our Sacred Honor and Revolutionary Leadership if you prefer. 


This paper should a) paint a portrait of the individuals’ character, b) explain how the supportive relationship impacted their duty, maintenance of virtue, or ability to lead c) and identify the results (consequences) that followed. 


This paper should be not more than 600 words (2 double-spaced pages). Cite in APA format (Author(s), year, p.#) and reference appropriately. See the APA helps under Course Information if you have not used APA format before. Please maintain proper spelling and grammar. 


Note: This assignment is foreshadowing the next course. In LEAD 203, you will focus heavily on how leadership is impacted by personal relationships.
