"This edition of Exploring Leadership will inspire students to engage in deeper self–exploration about why they lead and how they can make a positive difference through their leadership. The book provides a comprehensive treatment of leadership, complete with cutting–edge scholarship, applications, and reflections from students. I recommend it highly." Carol S.
