Robert, This behavior you described is totally unacceptable! They should be coached by the manage. I would go one step further and observe their behavior in class and maybe solicit student feedback through anonymous surveys. Ron Obstfeld

Melissa, I don't think leaders are "born". I would say Leadership can be a learned skill up to a point. The blend of leadership skill and intuition are required to make a great leader....but anyone can learn the required skills. Ron Obstfeld
