This workbook  provides a practical approach for college students to develop innovative leadership skills to launch and manage their careers and keep pace with the dynamic environment. It is tailored to the needs of college students wanting to move into their careers and lead student organizations as well as take informal leadership and influencing roles. It includes important information tailored to meet growth needs of the college student and individual contributor providing a comprehensive development process accompanied by field-tested worksheets and reflection questions.

This workbook is the entry point for leadership development in the Innovative Leadership series, which offers an integrated development process that starts as early as university and extends to the executive ranks. Activities draw from a combination of well-researched theory, three diverse case studies of domestic and international students, and field-tested processes and worksheets. The unique situation of each case study provides invaluable insight into how student leaders develop and incorporate innovation.
