Hmm, definitely for me it would be a few people:
SYN Bunite XD/XC - For being there to help out when I first got started. He was definitely useful in believing me when I had no other allies. Without him, I may not have reached the rank I am currently.
SYN K1NG XD - For being there during tough times. I can honestly say he definitely was there to help through a crazy time in SYN and for that I thank him, even if he won't return the favor LOL.
SYN Black XS - Though he came out from under me, he showed me what dedication and an open ear could accomplish. This guy definitely puts up with a lot of stuff from people, but he rarely if ever loses his cool. Definitely that type of person you WANT to hang around with.
And finally, XGC x0 0 7x XI: he may not remember it, but there was a situation with KoG Gunner XD that didn't look so good for me. I was only a sergeant at the time, but he actually took the time to sit down with me at the time and honestly listened to me. And now the second time around, he gave me a shot at being a division leader. I know that I may not have had the best reputation in the community, but he saw through that and gave me a fair shot to be a leader. For that I thank him a lot.
As for my actual leadership values, I can't say that any one person taught me how to be a leader. I can't even say that anybody taught me how to be a leader. I learned that through trial and error, through mistakes and successes. I tried new tactics; some succeeded and some failed, and it is through this constant improving process that I am what I am today. The people listed above helped TREMENDOUSLY in this effort, I don't want to underscore their part in this. They helped me out when times were tough, when few allies were around, and helped me actually enjoy what I do far more so than I would ever have otherwise.
