Synopsis
Distinguished Achievement Award
Every teen can be a leader. That's because leadership is not just about taking the lead in big ways, but in everyday small things, too. The sessions in this book guide teens to explore what it means to be a leader, how to work with others, ethical decision-making, risk-taking, team-building, communication, creative thinking, and more. Teens learn what's necessary to do something, even if that something is just speaking up. Choose the sessions that seem best for your class or group, or explore leadership through an entire school year.
