 Dr.
Tim has always been a wonderful source of inspiration and innovation
when it comes to developing the leadership potential of our students.
One of his latest publications, Leadership: Vision, Commitment, Action
(Gia Publications Inc., 2006) is a leadership workbook filled with
quotes, thoughts, and focused worksheets developed to help student
leaders find and refine their own personal vision of leadership.
Rather than being a wordy, paragraph oriented text book on leadership,
Lautzenheiser's book was written as a supplemental text to go along
with the many live leadership workshops that Dr. Tim does throughout
the country. Each page focuses on inspirational bits of wisdom,
beginning with a section titled Leadership Truths in which the student
learns that a true leader does not take a leadership role for personal
glory and that being a leader often requires deep reflection and
understanding their own personal faults and weaknesses. In subsequent
sections, Dr. Tim focuses on the important facets of goal setting and
the personal commitment and characteristics that are required to become
a true leader.
Leadership is priced at a level that makes it
possible to purchase one copy for each individual student in your
leadership program. There is ample space in the book to take notes,
add your own personal thoughts, and discuss the topics that are brought
up on each page. The cover price for this useful leadership guide is
just $5.95 and is available through Gia Publications. Other books on leadership by Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser are also available through Amazon.com
