This leadership book is one of the best ones I have seen. It is full of great ideas for students to develop communication skills and organizational skills to become the best leaders they can be. I have been a student council advisor and could have used these activities to have more effective student council officers and members. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to have the most effective student leaders. -Eleanor Yunghans, Past Executive Director, Ohio Council for the Social Studies
