The Student Leadership Challenge: Five Practices for Exemplary Leaders, 3rd Edition, Feb/2018

Based on the same concepts and research that inform the classic leadership book The Leadership Challenge, this is a clear and accessible guide to the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership, which is foundation of the Student Leadership Challenge approach. Incorporating stories of leadership development from real students, and language to which college students and other young and emerging leaders can relate, the book also features reflective and critical thinking activities at the end of each chapter to help students engage in each of the Five Practices.

This new edition includes 2 chapters per Practice, plus chapters explaining the model and discussing next steps, all of which allow the authors to go deeper into the model and include more extensive stories, reflection questions, and activities. Like the previous edition, this edition also includes an access code so students can take the Student Leadership Practices Inventory (Student LPI) self online and learn about their current leadership skills.
