Leadership is one of the most important themes of our time, and the need for thoughtful and skilled leaders is a priority. Effective leadership is critical to advance shared goals and to overcome the challenges and divides that impede collaboration and teamwork.
More Than Just Leading: Working with Others to Make Things Happen is an introduction to the concept of leadership for young readers.
