My student leaders still bring everything back to me.

Leadership is not measured by how many jobs students complete. It's measured by the number of decisions they can make without needing an adult to step in. Many leadership programs hand students responsibility before they've been taught how to exercise it.

These readings focus on teaching judgment, communication, accountability, and ownership so leadership becomes a culture instead of a title.
