Abstract

In a world where scandals and corruption appear in the daily headlines, effective leadership is critical in just about any field. Kunick and Lester's Survival Kit for Leaders offers a refreshing look at how to develop and/or maintain quality leadership skills. The book's eight chapters offer clear explanations on how to be most effective for new or experienced leaders. Each chapter is concluded with thought-provoking questions suitable for discussion in a classroom or group setting. The book also offers easy to remember mnemonics to help aspiring leaders remember important concepts offered by the authors. Well-known examples of outstanding current or past leaders such as Jackie Robinson and Anne Sullivan are used to illustrate key concepts as well. This interactive and motivational book offers a powerful yet practical approach to developing leadership skills.
