<ul><li>Self-Assessment Questionnaire: a specially-designed tool that will help the reader determine his or her own leadership style and preferences; </li><li>Observational Exercise: guides the reader in examining behaviors of leaders from his or her life experiences</li><li>Reflection and Action Worksheet: stimulates the reader to reflect upon his or her leadership style and identify actions to take to become more effective. </li></ul>These features will help students to explore their own leadership and identify ways to improve what they do as a leader.
The content of each chapter describes a fundamental principle of leadership and discusses how it relates to becoming an effective leader. These fundamentals are illustrated through examples and case studies. Following this discussion are an Observational Exercise and Reflection and Action Worksheet that, when completed, give the reader additional insight into the concepts discussed in the chapter. Each chapter ends with a summary and references.
