Early Development and Leadership: Building the Next Generation of Leaders

Today more than ever, there is a need for leadership. We spend billions in our organizations attempting to develop leaders to provide compelling visions, manage their people effectively, and steer the organizations to profitability. Few books pull together the thinking and research that spans the development of leadership from birth through college. By focusing on leadership behaviors of very young children and adolescents, we can learn how to expand the potential of each and every person, during a time when skills and perspectives are easily learned.
