Young Leader

Description

Meet Generation Y's corporate and political mentality. Written by Nick Tarant shortly after his May 2000 Commencement from Ithaca College, and organized as a clear and concise line of philosophical thought, Young Leader represents an autobiographical how-to about leading student organizations. Beyond that, it is an ambitiously unique statement on managing business, government, and life. In this book you will study very specific skills, talents and qualities described in detail. You will read about particular cases and examples in a university setting. Linear and easy to read, it begins with a conglomeration of traits that make up basic leadership. This transitions nicely into specific matters of the heart and soul and how those apply to other people. Finally, the elements of organizational management and politics bloom through a very personal look at a life that represents the potential of a generation. A fulltime advertising professional in Chicago, Tarant also serves as an executive administrator of the American Student Government Association, and he is a co-founder and senior partner with the SG Consulting Group. At Ithaca, Tarant held the distinctive honor of sitting as a student governance executive for three of his four years. In his own words, "this is a story about the politics in any workplace. It is a tale of skill and luck. It is a guide to what people young or old respond and react to in each other. It is a profile of a young leader." The ten chapters are divided into natural sub-sections, and there is a review section at the end of each. Young Leader makes a great supplemental curriculum piece, or an informative professional/trade book.
