I'm going to choose a fictional role model this year and say that I'm thankful for Albus Dumbledore from Harry Potter. I'm grateful for the characteristics he embodies as a leader and as a person. More on the leader level, I'm impressed by his skill at his profession (magic / wizarding); his ability to come up with creative and surprisingly effective solutions to thorny problems; and his wisdom, patience, and ability to stay cool when things around him are going crazy. More on the human level, I'm impressed by his self sacrificing nature, his ability to maintain a sense of humor and perspective through everything, and his deep kindness.
I'm grateful for fiction writers who create such a rich world as Harry Potter, with characters you get to know like friends, and who create characters that you can root for and against and even aspire to want to be like.
