Book excerpt: This book is about leadership for middle school and high school students; nothing more, nothing less. This book has a singular focus, to make students aware of how critical the concept of leadership is to their personal happiness and success. I have been there, done that; it may have been a different time in history, but lots of teen challenges nonetheless. Yes, times have changed and personal, family and societal issues may now have different priorities and obstacles, but the need to be an effective leader remains paramount. So, whether its 1967 or 2011, some things remain the same. This book covers 10 key leadership attributes. There are certainly many more, but I have chosen a select 10 that I think every young adult should master to become an effective leader, not just for their school years, but for a lifetime beyond. Leadership is, without question, one of the more critical ingredients to anyone’s personal and professional success. There simply is no substitute. If we all desire to achieve some measure of happiness and success in our lives, then becoming an effective leader is a must.
