Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Handbook for Student Leadership Development
Susan R. Komives · 2011
70/100
👍 Worth It
This is a serious, research-grounded reference backed by the National Clearinghouse of Leadership Programs, and it doesn't shy away from inclusivity and real program-building detail. Just know it's written for the educators running leadership programs, not the students in them, so it's a different kind of read.
