This book shares the LEAD (Leadership Enrichment and Development) method, a framework for supporting and facilitating leadership identity development for women in higher education.

While LEAD’s context is higher education, the volume offers valuable application to other professional settings where women work, lead, and thrive.

Why should you read this book?Isn't it past time to start teaching our children the basic psychological concepts and skills that we teach our college-age students?

Much like it takes time in order to learn basic reading, writing and arithmetic, it will take time for these basic psychological concepts and skills to become part of your repertoire.They can be read and practiced alone, with friends, family members, or any group.
