Publisher's Synopsis
We all have leadership roles. You don't have to have a title to be a leader. If friends come to you for answers, if a child holds your hand as you are grocery shopping, if a youngster is on the receiving end of a game of catch, if you are involved in an organizational activity and members ask what you think, if people look to you for direction, you are a leader.
We encourage you to explore Leadership in new ways. Take a look around you and you will find lessons in leadership everywhere. We live in the most confusing climate of our era when leadership theories and methods are just not as effective as they used to be.
