Review "The newly revised leadership workbook is a refreshing approach for Generation Z leaders. It is a timely, well written guide...[providing] timely information and activities that will cultivate new ideas as these students prepare to become the next group of successful leaders of this country. As a regional youth leadership program director I highly recommend this workbook for to students, parents, schools and organizations promoting youth development." --Mavis Hill, Executive Director --Tyrrell County Community Development CorporationColumbia, North Carolina " The Leadership Workbook serves as a practical guide with a structured format that introduces soft skills and various approaches to broad areas of leadership. This workbook gives the engaged young person the opportunity to self-reflect at the end of each chapter while propelling them to make a more succinct answer to the question, "Who Am I?" This process of self-discovery is the internal key to unlocking one's personal gifts and skills that only enhances one's ability to effectively lead. This book is so versatile in that it can be shared with various age groups - teenagers or young adults in a one-on-one setting or group format." --Victoria Hanchell, MPA, Associate Director of Admissions --Winston Salem State University "We often hear that leaders are not born, they are made. The Leadership Workbook takes the reader on an eight chapter journey to becoming a leader. What makes this book standout above the myriad of existing student leadership books, however, is that it views leadership development through a culturally competent lens. The authors provide information from a diverse group of leadership experts. This book is a must have in the toolbox of the emerging leader seeking long-term success in an ever increasing global society." --Grace E. Henry, Ed. D., Director of Second-Year Experience at the Center for Student Engagement --The George Washington University
