Designed to help students excel at every stage of their leadership path, The Leadership Trajectory: Developing Legacy Leaders-Ship, 2^nd Edition, follows a five-element framework that addresses the core attributes of a leader — character, commitment, connectedness, compassion and confidence. This unique and practical text offers strategic guidance on the actions they need to take to become more influential in any environment to move themselves and their team to greater contributions. Students will learn how to develop the skills, mindset, and aptitude to succeed regardless of where they are in their position, setting or education journey.
