Leadership with young people

Whether you are a youth worker, outdoor instructor, community worker, scout leader or some other similar context in which you need to lead young people this book should: introduce you to some of the more relevant leadership theory; give you ideas about how to put it into practice; help you to recognise the different leadership styles in others; encourage you to develop as a leader through experience, reflection, learning from others and yours and others' mistakes. It includes contributions from specialist workers on: working with people in the outdoors; groups with special needs or disabilites; challenging young people; and working with young people from ethnic communities.
