All too often, students are encouraged to become leaders, without an adequate framework that describes the practice and purpose of leadership, says author Brendon Burchard. The Student Leadership Guide helps fill that void. Drawing on his own experience as a student and a professional, the book guides readers through the six "E"s of leadership--envision, enlist, embody, empower, evaluate, and encourage. With numerous questions for discussion and reflection included, this title would be appropriate as the text for a seminar on leadership, the guide for a leadership retreat, or as suggested reading for any emerging student leader on campus.
