The document lists behaviors that leaders should avoid, such as being an obsessed winner, acting too wisely, adding unnecessary touches, judging others, making negative or destructive comments, talking when angry, shooting the messenger, or passing the buck. It also suggests that leaders should give gratitude, be quick to apologize, and provides an assignment for students to prepare a 5-minute presentation on leadership topics and submit their slides and explanations by a specified date.
