From the Paper:

"I chose Brett Favre because I admire him on and off the football field. I believe he is a strong and vibrant person, and that he has leadership qualities that help him with his football career and in life. I also admire him because although he is highly paid, he has started many charities with some of his money to help people that need it, and I think that it is an important quality of a good leader to give back to the community and to use some of their wealth to help others.
"I know that leadership is an important quality in anyone who hopes to lead others and reach the top of their chosen field. I think that Brett Favre embodies this, but the literatures we have studied indicate this is not a new idea. In medieval times, leaders had to lead their men into battle to keep their castles and lands together, and they had to be shrewd and noble leaders to get the men to follow and support them."
