Self-help✦ Penny’s Take
College Student Leadership Development
Valerie I. Sessa · 2017
73/100
👍 Worth It
I like that this one skips the generic skills-list approach for a real structured model — the ReAChS framework — and it's actually written for students to use themselves, not just their professors. The author's Center for Creative Leadership background lends it real credibility even without independent reviews to lean on.
