Summary: Lead Now - or Step Aside
Review: Brilliant book for students in High School, it is an ideal workbook for teachers like me who want to give kids leadership skills. What I like best is it brought together the best of the speakers we have had in our schools -- The Kids Were Blown Away!

Summary: Excellent book by excellent people
Review: I've had the priviledge of hearing 4 of these authors speak in the last few years through FBLA. Their words are aimed directly at a teenage audience, there's no need to decipher the meanings behind the words. If you ever have the chance to see any of these extraordinary speakers give a presentation, take it. Their speeches and workshops often expand upon the excellent ideas they provide within the book. Check out the last chapter of the book which provides numerous ideas on how to raise money and awareness of projects.

Summary: Rather insipid pabulum: more Chicken Soup for Teen Leaders
Review: Indeed, "Chicken Soup's" Jack Canfield has a promotional blurb on this book's front cover. Fans of his work & the "Teen Power" series might be delighted by this volume. I guess I'm not w/in that target audience. This volume is essentially an anthology w/ many "cutesy" mini-essays on various sub-aspects of learning about leadership. But I can't see it appealing to too many student leaders beyond those in Jr. High.
