Real-world leadership training for real-world students
The Student Leadership Challenge tailors one of the world's most
respected leadership models to students' unique needs, and provides a
proven pathway to success. Based on The Five Practices of Exemplary
Leadership, this book merges solid research with personal stories from
real-world student leaders to help students develop the critical skills
they need to lead both now and after graduation. Useful from high school
to graduate school and beyond, these lessons are reinforced by
reflective and critical thinking activities to help students internalize
important concepts while honestly assessing their own practices. Updated
and expanded, this new third edition includes four extra chapters to
allow deeper investigation, while broader, deeper, and more vivid
examples from real-life students illustrate what student leadership
looks like around the world. New discussion delves into the research
behind the model, as well as the usefulness of leadership in the
transition to post-graduate life.
What does leadership mean to you? Although it may be difficult to put
into words, we all know it when we see it. Effective leaders tend to
exhibit a specific set of traits, possess certain skills, and practice
particular habits. This book helps you hone your natural talents and
shape your path to success as the leader you want to become.
