We are leaders when we become parents to our children, we are leaders many times at our jobs, we sometimes become leaders at our churches, at our communities, and among our friends. If we shy away from our responsibilities as leaders it only hurts us and those around us. It is critical that we are able to learn to be able to master leadership skills in order to be able to face the challenges of our lives. Children need leadership training more today than at any other time in history so that they can deal with the challenges 21st century. It is the lack of leadership skills that has lead to violence in schools, unqualified workers, and children unprepared for the real world. Most children lack basic leadership skills and have a hard time getting and holding on to a job. Many of them struggle with healthy relationships, and do not have the confidence or the skills to be successful. Effective Leadership Skills Student Manual is designed to have students start practicing leadership skills. It gives them basic knowledge about leadership skills and encourages them to start practicing these skills. The manual does not replace the experience necessary for students to become leaders.

The manual follows the lessons in the teacher manual and compliments what is taught in the lessons. It is not to replace the lessons or activities suggested in the teacher manual. It gives background information and suggestions for students to take in order to be able to master the skills. Students need to actively participate in each lesson and be willing to take part in leadership positions throughout the course. The manual is written for secondary and college level students. It can be adapted for younger students with supplementary materials. Younger students can create their own student manual as a leadership activity.
