The first question in the Manager Induction Standards workbook asks you to name three great leaders and explain why they are inspirational to you.
Who you choose does not really matter. The important part is being able to recognise their leadership qualities and how they contributed to their achievements.

I chose the following people:
| Name | What makes them inspirational? |
| Ghandi | Achieved major political change using peaceful means. |
| Dalai Lama | Created Tibetan parliament and educational system after being exiled from Tibet. Promotes peace, loving kindness and tolerance. |
| Albert Einstein | Made many scientific discoveries that changed the way we think about the world. |

But you could choose anybody that you think was able to lead others or was a pioneer of their time. Some people you may consider are:
- Pope Francis
- Donald Trump
- Muhammad
- Rupaul
- Adolf Hitler (despite his abhorrence, he was an effective leader)
- Winston Churchill
- Nelson Mandela
- George Washington
- Alexander the Great
- Ghengis Kahn
- Florence Nightingale
