The Student Leadership Challenge:Five Practices for Exemplary Leaders

Derived from the classic leadership book The Leadership Challenge, Fourth Edition, this is a concise, focused primer on the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership for students. Grounded in the same extensive research as the best selling The Leadership Challenge, this book uses examples and language to which students in higher education can relate. It also features reflective and critical thinking activities at the end of each chapter to help students engage in each of the Five Practices.

* Can be used with all levels-from incoming first-year students to outgoing grads and young professionals
* Examples from both on-campus and off-campus venues, with particular emphasis on service-learning and effects of leadership in the surrounding community.
* Provides helpful and useful background on the instrument (Student LPI)

                             

The Most Trusted Source on Becoming a Better Student Leader

In The Student Leadership Challenge, Kouzes and Posner-today's premier leadership experts-demonstrate how anyone can be a leader, regardless of age or experience. Grounded in the same extensive research as the best-selling The Leadership Challenge, it uses real-life stories and examples exclusively from college students to illustrate The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership®:

Model the Way
*

Inspire a Shared Vision
*

Challenge the Process
*

Enable Others to Act

*

Leadership Challenge Program

The Leadership Challenge program is an opportunity to develop your leadership skills.

To take part, you simply need to have an interest in furthering your leadership experience - regardless of previous experience or involvement. The program focuses on developing leadership skills on a personal, group and community level, and looking at how leaders:

* Challenge the process
* Inspire a shared vision
* Enable others to act
* Model the way
* Encourage the heart

(James M. Kouzes, Barry Z. Posner, Leadership Challenge, Third Edition, 2002).

While you are in the program, you will build a student involvement portfolio demonstrating your leadership skills and involvement, and establish an excellent network of connections to students, college faculty and staff, and community members. You will learn more about yourself and the skills you need to become a better leader.

To complete the challenge, you must participate in following four components: Learn, Serve, Lead and fulfill a Student Involvement Protfolio.

Learn

There are a variety of leadership development workshops and conferences offered throughout the semester. To complete the challenge, you must attend at least two workshops per semester, on topics like:

* Personal leadership styles
* Team-building
* Change-management
* Myers-Briggs type indicator
* Public-speaking and interpersonal communication
* Diversity
* Marketing your student leadership experience
* Ethics
* Civic engagement

Serve

Service projects integrate leadership skills and principles with practical experience and provide an opportunity to interact meaningfully with the community.
* Education, orientation and training
* Meaningful action
* Reflection
* Assessment

Lead

The third piece of the leadership challenge is campus involvement. This can take place in a variety of forms from working on campus, serving on a college committee, or getting involved in campus events and activities. The student involvement portfolio is used to document this experience.

Campus involvement may include:

* Involvement in student government, honor societies (Phi Theta Kappa, Alpha Beta Gamma, Psi Beta), student clubs, Academic Community leadership
* Campus committee work: search committees, academic council
* Working on campus
* Being an open house tour guide or new student orientation leader
* Attending and anticipating in campus activities
* Many others!

Student Involvement Portfolio

This final and most important piece of the challenge helps you to package your experiences and highlight your achievements.

The Leadership Challenge program provides a variety of intrinsic rewards, but there are also some tangible rewards that lie at the finish line.
