{"product_id":"2940012260062","title":"Developing Teen Leadership: A Practical Guide for Youth Group Advisors, Teachers and Parents","description":"Not long ago, all it took to have a comfortable career was to do well in high school, get a college degree, and find a nice stable job. But the world is changing rapidly, and many of the nice stable jobs have moved to developing countries. Even a college degree is not the sure investment it once was.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGood grades are not enough.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut there remain endless opportunities for those with real leadership skills - regardless of career choice. Leadership skills are what you need to manage a team, to stand out as an employee, to start a business and to nail that interview. The skills required to inspire and motivate others, to communicate effectively, to take initiative, and to make and execute plans, are as important as a high grade point average (if not more so).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut how do you teach these skills to teenagers? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eParents, teachers, coaches, scoutmasters, youth counselors and advisors strive to do so every day - but often have limited training on how best to accomplish that goal. This book fills that gap.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is not an academic or theoretical book on youth leadership. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a relentlessly practical guide on how to effectively guide teens to become leaders. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt covers virtually every topic, issue and skill you need to know - and how to teach it. You'll even learn how to teach teen leaders to teach leadership skills to each other, thus helping them become even stronger leaders.","brand":"Desaware Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145253404912,"sku":"2940012260062","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012260062_p0.jpg?v=1763553820","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012260062","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
