Research shows that many successful business people held positions of responsibility whilst they were at school. Some had been prefects; some had been captains of sports teams and some had been both. Being a school leader gives early experience of having responsibility, however, there are two other factors that greatly affect later success in life.
Firstly, nearly all successful people would tell you that their achievements were based on a great deal of hard work. Secondly, they would tell you that they had experienced lots of failures but somehow learned from them and moved on. In other words, they were hard working and resilient.
