How to Bring Out the Leader in Your Child: KidLead founders share discoveries from the pioneering field of young leader development. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781482504521)

This book, originally published under the title, "KidLead: Growing Great Leaders," has been updated and revised. This is a practical summary of over 8 years of Dr. Nelson's work, designing leadership training curricula for 3-23 year olds. This is a must-read for educators, parents and those who work with these ages, because young and very young leaders are often misunderstood and even punished for what will eventually become valued gifts in society. The goal is to get to leaders while they're moldable, not moldy. Most schools are leader-averse. Learn how to create leader-friendly classrooms. Parents frequently thwart leader development at home. Learn how to avoid that and develop those abilities. The idea that everyone can become a leader is addressed. A guide is provided for measuring leadership aptitude in children and youth, along with a free assessment called the Social Influence Survey. The final section of the book includes an outline for developing effective and ethical leaders, but focusing on 16 of the most desired leader qualities. Dr. Nelson's pioneer work, transforming executive caliber leadership training into age-n-stage curricula, has caused many to refer to him as the global expert in young leader development. This seminal book is compelling, practical, and provocative.
