Download or read book How to Bring Out the Leader in Your Child written by Alan E. Nelson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2013-05-14 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, originally published under the title, "KidLead: Growing Great Leaders," has been updated and revised. This is a practical summary of over 8 years of Dr. Nelson's work, designing leadership training curricula for 3-23 year olds. This is a must-read for educators, parents and those who work with these ages, because young and very young leaders are often misunderstood and even punished for what will eventually become valued gifts in society. The goal is to get to leaders while they're moldable, not moldy. Most schools are leader-averse. Learn how to create leader-friendly classrooms. Parents frequently thwart leader development at home. Learn how to avoid that and develop those abilities. The idea that everyone can become a leader is addressed. A guide is provided for measuring leadership aptitude in children and youth, along with a free assessment called the Social Influence Survey. The final section of the book includes an outline for developing effective and ethical leaders, but focusing on 16 of the most desired leader qualities. Dr. Nelson's pioneer work, transforming executive caliber leadership training into age-n-stage curricula, has caused many to refer to him as the global expert in young leader development. This seminal book is compelling, practical, and provocative.

Download or read book The Unfinished Leader written by Michael Lubelfeld and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-04-30 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The key element that sets the incredibly effective leader apart from everyone else is their commitment to never settle for less than the very best. This internal drive is what fuels the grind and what allows for the seemingly impossible to be done. This drive indicates one thing. It is a daily symbol of the leader’s firm recognition that they are unfinished. It is the personification of never being satisfied. It is the commitment to drain every last ounce of talent from our bodies while we have an opportunity to serve. In The Unfinished Leader: A School Leadership Framework for Growth and Development, PJ, Nick, and Mike leverage decades of school and school system leadership and national and international leadership development and share the what, the how, and the why on the leader's journey. This book highlights the key characteristics of an effective leader: humble, vulnerable, courageous, open-minded, and inclusive and shows how these characteristics mixed with the mindset that personal development is never finished is necessary to achieve the lofty goals required to best support our kids and our communities. This book asserts that leadership is not an event to be conquered and checked off of a list. Leadership is a journey, and the zenith of our individual journeys is never quite attainable as the very best among us continue to drive forward tirelessly to become better versions of themselves. This book is a guidepost to help leaders understand they are works in progress and to help create a vision for their individual futures.
Download or read book Great Leaders Grow written by Ken Blanchard and published by . This book was released on 2012-02-06 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the bestselling authors of The Secret (over 350,000 copies sold): the legendary Ken Blanchard and Mark Miller, a top executive at one of the most successful restaurant chains in the country. Identifies the specific ways leaders must grow - on the job and off - to remain inspiring and effective. Written for both established leaders looking to ensure their continued effectiveness and those who aspire to leadership. Successful leaders don't rest on their laurels. Leadership must be a living process, not a title on a business card, and life means growth. As Ken Blanchard and Mark Miller write in the introduction, ''the path to increased influence, impact, and leadership effectiveness is paved with personal growth. Our capacity to grow determines our capacity to lead. It's really that simple.'' Great Leaders Grow shows leaders and aspiring leaders precisely which areas to focus on so they can remain effective throughout their lives. As the book opens, Debbie Brewster, an accomplished leader herself, becomes a mentor to Blake, her late mentor's son, as he begins his career. Debbie tells Blake, ''How well you and I serve will be determined by the decision to grow or not. Will you be a leader who is always ready to face the next challenge? Or will you be a leader who tries to apply yesterday's solutions to today's problems? The latter will ultimately fail. The difference: the decision to grow. And not a short-term decision but a decision to grow throughout your career and throughout your life. This single decision is a game changer for leaders.'' Over the next several weeks Debbie reveals what this means in practical terms. She and Blake explore four ways that leaders must continue to grow, both on the job and off, because who you are as a leader is inextricably connected to who you are as a person. Whether you're a CEO or an entry-level employee, you'll be inspired to reflect on your own life and to design your own unique long-term growth plan, leading to not only continuing professional success but personal fulfillment as well.

Download or read book How to Bring Out the Leader in Your Daughter written by Alan E. Nelson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-11-17 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to Bring Out the Leader in Your Daughter is a practical guide for parents, educators and youth workers, who interact with girls & young women, ages 5-20, to understand leadership aptitude and developing their influence potential. The book is based on the groundbreaking research by Dr. Alan E. Nelson, founder of KidLead and designer of the SheLead, executive-caliber, project-based training curricula (www.shelead.org). The book offers a foundation for understanding how girls and young women often get overlooked and misunderstood as young leaders, along with dozens of practical ideas on bringing out the leader in these girls/young women. Unlike most who merely talk about women leadership issues, this book strives to help you do something about it, to develop a new generation of leaders, giving them a 10-30 year head start. Also unlike others, this book defines leadership as the process of helping people accomplish together what they could not as individuals. Thus, leadership is far more than merely character, self-esteem, service, and any number of other self-actualization issues that don't pertain to what leaders do. This book is the adult companion to the SheLead training curricula that schools, faith communities and civic groups can and are offering around the world. Dr. Nelson's work with young leaders globally gives you insights as to how young female leaders do and do not get developed.
