Our team captain won the Dean's List award with Sean Messenger from 2046 Bear Metal at the Seattle Olympic Regional today.
I don't know if this is necessarily the winning recipe, but here's how I'd describe him:
-Hilariously entertaining (jokes at his own expense

)
-Knowledgeable
-Takes blame for mistakes
-Outgoing
-Dedicated
-Great communication skills
-Fun
-Father figure: willing to sit down with members and talk to them about personal troubles (parent divorce, relationships)
All of which constitute an inspirational leader. I'm glad he won it; it is the greatest thing we could've done for him before he graduated. I've known him for 5 years and I would not be involved with FIRST without him. I strive to be like him.
