A timeless classic from a pioneer in the field of leadership studies-the only book you need to read on becoming an effective leader. Warren Bennis (1925-2014) was a pioneer in leadership studies, a scholar who advised presidents and business executives alike on how to become successful leaders. On Becoming a Leader is his seminal work, exemplifying Bennis's core belief that leaders are not born-they are made. In a world increasingly defined by turbulence and uncertainty, the call to leadership is more urgent than ever. Providing essential and timeless insights for generations of readers, On Becoming a Leader delves into the qualities that define leadership, the people who exemplify it, and the strategies that anyone can apply to achieve it. Dubbed the "dean of leadership gurus" by Forbes magazine, Bennis remains the final word in modern leadership. This seminal work is a must-read for anyone who aspires to leadership excellence.

This book is about leadership for middle school and high school students; nothing more, nothing less. This book has a singular focus, to make students aware of how critical the concept of leadership is to their personal happiness and success.

So, whether its 1967 or 2011, some things remain the same. This book covers 10 key leadership attributes. There are certainly many more, but I have chosen a select 10 that I think every young adult should master to become an effective leader, not just for their school years, but for a lifetime beyond. Leadership is, without question, one of the more critical ingredients to anyone’s personal and professional success. There simply is no substitute.
