Good condition

The book was in very good condition, almost new, just like advertised. It was shipped in a timely matter. Good legitimate place to do business with.

The best book for teaching leadership to youngsters....

I have looked long for books that can be used to teach leadership to young people (middle school and up). Susan Fritz is an ass't prof in the department of ag leadership at Univ. Nebraska-Lincoln, and she has pulled together 17 excellent chapters about leadership, in exercises that can be used with young people. Her writing is clear, the chapters and exercises well organized, and you can use these with your classes.This is by far the best I have seen so far. I especially liked Ch 7, Creating the Vision and Establishing Goals, and Ch 14, Responding With Empathy.

A communication-based leadership book that delivers!

As a college instructor, I have read many books similar to these--present a skill, provide an activity, etc., but then no application is given. However, this text is excellent because not only are the discussions on communication/leadership skills quite interesting & thorough, but the exercises provided are practical & ones that I will actually use when I teach. (Many similar texts have the silliest activities). But the very best part is the REFERENCES--sources cited are mostly up-to-date & always include some of the classic works in communication. This book is very impressive--practical, credible, and USEFUL!!!!
