Not long ago, all it took to have a comfortable career was to do well in high school, get a college degree, and find a nice stable job. But the world is changing rapidly, and many of the nice stable jobs have moved to developing countries. Even a college degree is not the sure investment it once was. Good grades are not enough. But there remain endless opportunities for those with real leadership skills - regardless of career choice. Leadership skills are what you need to manage a team, to stand out as an employee, to start a business and to nail that interview. The skills required to inspire and motivate others, to communicate effectively, to take initiative, and to make and execute plans, are as important as a high grade point average (if not more so). But how do you teach these skills to teenagers? Parents, teachers, coaches, scoutmasters, youth counselors and advisors strive to do so every day - but often have limited training on how best to accomplish that goal. This book fills that gap. This is not an academic or theoretical book on youth leadership. It is a relentlessly practical guide on how to effectively guide teens to become leaders. It covers virtually every topic, issue and skill you need to know - and how to teach it. You'll even learn how to teach teen leaders to teach leadership skills to each other, thus helping them become even stronger leaders.

Children in today's world are inundated with information about who to be, what to do and how to live. But what if there was a way to teach children how to manage priorities, focus on goals and be a positive influence on the world around them? The Leader in Meis that programme. It's based on a hugely successful initiative carried out at the A.B. Combs Elementary School in North Carolina. To hear the parents of A. B Combs talk about the school is to be amazed. In 1999, the school debuted a programme that taught The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Peopleto a pilot group of students. The parents reported an incredible change in their children, who blossomed under the programme. By the end of the following year the average end-of-grade scores had leapt from 84 to 94. This book will launch the message onto a much larger platform. Stephen R. Covey takes the 7 Habits, that have already changed the lives of millions of people, and shows how children can use them as they develop. Those habits -- be proactive, begin with the end in mind, put first things first, think win-win, seek to understand and then to be understood, synergize, and sharpen the saw -- are critical skills to learn at a young age and bring incredible results, proving that it's never too early to teach someone how to live well.

There are many leadership books written for business professionals that crowd the bookshelves and online libraries of stores today. There are, however, few leadership books that are targeted toward teens and young adults. Michael O'Neill discovered many situations that come up in the daily life of a teen after discussing this with his high school aged daughter. Since Michael had taught leadership development at the world's largest software firm for over seven years, he realized that the lessons he taught about leadership in the business world could be applied to a person of any age, thus helping teens and young adults make smart decisions and take more leadership roles within their school and organizations. Rather than write a 'preachy' instructional book on learning leadership skills, Michael decided to instead write a fictional story about a teenage girl named Maddie who is trying to become a drum major for her high school marching band. What Maddie thinks is leadership turns out to be exactly wrong, and it takes a new friendship with another student she nicknames "The Wizz" to help her understand the concepts behind what makes a great leader. The story is a funny, heartwarming, and educational tale of how understanding the key differences between leadership and management can help students through their toughest situations. Although the story is told through a character in high school band, it is easy to swap out any high school activity where leadership is required. Football players, cheerleaders, chess club, debate club, academic decathlon teams, etc... All of these organizations have opportunities where kids can demonstrate important leadership skills. Even kids who are not a part of an organization can benefit from learning these leadership skills as they explain how to best relate to others and learn to make smart decisions in difficult situations. The skills taught here are the same skills Michael taught in his leadership development program at work. Adults can benefit too from the teachings, however the story is targeted toward teens and young adults. Michael hopes that those reading his book can identify with the characters in this story and hopefully learn some new skills that will last them a lifetime.
