It is always important to know your stuff. Doesn't matter where you are or what it is, if it's expected from you then you should know it. No one likes talking to ignorant people. It's pretty hard and annoying to deal with when they're getting their facts wrong and making a fool out of themselves. Well, an audience don't want the same for a leader. When persuading a crowd you want to make sure you show them what they want to know. This will, as Heinrichs states, "show the audience that you know how to solve the problem at hand." (67). Who doesn't want a problem solver as a leader?
As a student, I am expected to exceed my struggles. This prepares me for my future when I need to confront everyday problems. Some people have more difficulty, some have it easier. My strategies to solve problems come from understanding how I dealt with them in the past. This is Heinrichs' "showing off your experiences." Sometimes more useful than knowledge, experience lets you analyze your past actions to correct mistakes or improve them.
