Praise for the First Edition
"My students have been searching for a leadership book that they don′t have to translate to their experiences. At last, here is a book that integrates cutting–edge ideas of leadership with examples and stories from college students."
Kathleen E. Allen, senior fellow, Academy of Leadership at the University of Maryland
"As a long–time teacher of leadership courses, I know that my students will resonate with Exploring Leadership . The book presents a well–developed analysis of both the ′how′ and the ′why′ of leadership as a relational process and also challenges student readers to think about how they might practice leadership throughout their lives."
