It has occured to me that when it comes to the point in my life to have kids, that they are going to be effected by me, whether I want them to be or not. So I decided that rather than complaining about it, I should focus more on making myself into someone that I would want them to be like. This is what made me seriously become a seeker. I have a record of books and interesting sources, that I've looked over and I have a whole list of stuff that I still have to read I will post this list at a later date, along with what I got out of each book, and I really want to know what those who should happen upon my blog get out of them. If I can get any comments on that, than my blog will be doing its job. Off the top of my head, I would list, "The Samurai Code; a Modern Translation of the Bushido Shoshinsu" translated by Thomas Cleary, The Bible (if you don't like it at least know why, I reccomend biblegateway.com as you can look at six different translations and compare how this book has been translated, "Ghandi" by none other than the humble leader himself, "Feel the fear and do it anyway" don't remember the author... I'll finish this list at a later date, sorry I don't have more sources that aren't just christian, I figured I'd start by examining the faith I had been raised in, closely.

EDIT: I am aware that children do not always end up just like their parents, this is more a question of what leadership impact will you have on your childrens life.
