Leaders Yet Discovered: Experiential Development for Emerging Leaders

This book is a guide for helping leader developers create the culture, processes, and relationships that foster leader identity and contribution. Today's emerging adults are compassionate, energetic, eager, and, given the right context and approach to leadership development, will thrive and contribute much. Yet if we are to truly help them succeed as leaders we need to rethink the traditional leadership role based on the illusion of control and certainty. We invite you on a thinking journey to discover and define your own approach, grounded in solid theory and reflective practices. We live in an age where leadership is clearly at the forefront of most every type of organization and human learning endeavor, but there are some contexts which provide especially helpful conditions for leaders to emerge. So we highlight the unique dynamics of the camp and college environments for facilitating this growth—places steeped in real responsibility and purposeful reflection.
