5 Reasons You Need To Be Interested In Effective Leadership Development• 1. Reading, writing, & ‘rithmetic alone don’t

cut it today (GPA/SAT scores deficient)• 2. Reduce disruptions and gain student

allies wielding influence (tap peer power)• 3. Attract PR & families seeking leadership

training (listed in top 4 interests)• 4. It’s biblical: Ex. 18 & WDJD (Jesus hand-

groomed a few to care for the many.) • 5. Turbo charge your leader pool, who in

turn change school culture (i.e. ASB/clubs) Developing Young Leaders 2012 Alan E. Nelson, EdD

• Personal: responsible, high self-esteem, ethical, good citizen, confident, works from strengths

• Managerial: able to facilitate smaller group projects, maintain existing processes

• Organizational: able to cast vision, lead others in problem solving, catalyze organizational change

• Leadership is the process of helping people accomplish together, what they could not as individuals.

• Leaders are those who get leadership going.
