Reviews

Learning about leadership is a hands-on experience that requires more than a traditional book can offer. The Emotionally Intelligent Leadership for Students: Workbook offers a valuable resource for students seeking to build their skills and capacity within a contemporary framework for understanding leadership. Dr. Jon Dooley, Senior Associate Dean of Student Development, Marquette University and Former Chair, National Association for Campus Activities (NACA) Board of Directors As a university administrator, I have looked for an educational approach to allow students to engage in their own active learning. Emotionally Intelligent Leadership for Students: Workbook is the perfect tool to not only allow individuals to explore their personal development, but it can be used as a frequent reminder to their specific growth as a leader. Kyle A. Pendleton, Assistant Dean of Students and Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life, Purdue University This is a wonderful companion piece to Emotionally Intelligent Leadership: A Guide for College Students. The case studies, activities, and exercises in this workbook allow students to reflect and enhance their emotionally intelligent leadership, all the while contributing to their overall personal and social development. Juan R. Guardia, Director, Center for Multicultural Affairs, Florida State University The best leaders know and understand themselves, and this includes their emotional intelligence. This book will be a must in my tool kit as I work with future leaders in helping them realize their potential. Kelly Jo Karnes, Office of Student Life, Associate Director, University of Iowa As a college administrator who has been intimately involved with student leadership development for the past 30 years, I find the Emotionally Intelligent Leadership for Students: Workbook to be an excellent resource. This is a publication for your office shelf that can be referenced at a glance. When a leadership topic requires your attention, you will find many useful components to this workbook to support your educational efforts, including activities, student quotes, and additional resources, along with learning objectives to align your goals and outcomes! Pamela Brewer, Associate Dean of Students, Director of Student Life Programs, Lafayette College Whether you work with student organization leaders, train residence assistants or supervise student employees, you will find the Emotionally Intelligent Leadership for Students: Workbook valuable. The modules offer practical ways of demonstrating theory and the case studies give students helpful, true-to-life problems to solve and discuss. I look forward to using it with my advanced leadership programs. Kim Roeder, Director of Student Activities, Christopher Newport University I am excited to have this new resource for illustrating leadership concepts from the follower's perspective. I can't wait to use these exercises in my leadership class. Adam Peck, Ph.D., Dean of Student Affairs, Stephen F. Austin State University
