Interview a leader
The purpose of this mini project is to interview someone that has taken on a leadership role in their life.
You will ask them a series of questions that you developed. The questions should give you background
information on the person and how they became a leader in their life. You will need to type their
responses to the questions and also type a reflection on the interview. The reflection will be based on
