As a parent, you wish only the best for your son, and that he is happy in life. For many parents this means a strong, confident and independent individual; all leadership qualities that you aspire your son to possess. However not all leaders are the loudest in the class as [**Inc**](https://www.forbes.com/sites/travisbradberry/2015/08/11/8-powerful-ways-to-mold-your-children-into-leaders/#5ef634504ff4) advises. Here are 12 other signs your son is a natural leader, as suggested by [**Forbes**](https://www.forbes.com/sites/travisbradberry/2015/08/11/8-powerful-ways-to-mold-your-children-into-leaders/#5ef634504ff4).

1. **He has character.** He is always willing to do the right thing, despite the repercussions, with honesty and integrity.
2. **He can give others credit when it is due.** He encourages others to shine around him, endorsing their ability, demonstrating he is a ‘we’ person rather than an ‘I’ person.
3. **He can relate to others.** He is empathetic and understands peoples emotions; what they might be going through and how that can affect them.
4. **He asks for help.** He accepts help from others in his weaker areas to complete a task efficiently and to the highest standard.
5. **He listens well.** He is approachable and listens when people talk.
6. **He is responsible.** He isn’t afraid to act when action is required.
7. **He adapts to change.** Natural leaders are always on the lookout for better ways to do what they do. They are ever-evolving.
8. **He remains calm.** He can remain calm and smile during a crisis, obstacle or challenge.
9. **He is optimistic.** He is a ‘glass half-full’ personality, who believes there is a solution to every problem.
10. **He has respect for others.** He treats everyone equally, fairly and with respect.
11. **He lends a hand.** He loves helping others and doesn’t expect anything in return. He is focused on completing the task at hand.
12. **He has clear goals** that he would like to achieve and is passionate about, regardless of his environment or opinions of those around him.
