Developing Political Leadership Skills

By Christopher Pike

Book Overview

While many people have the passion and drive to become political leaders, not all of them develop the skills needed to make sure their voices are heard and their issues are taken seriously. In this practical guide, readers will learn to identify their own strengths and weaknesses and cultivate a range of essential leadership skills such as empathy, patience, public speaking, time management, conflict resolution, and research. Sidebars provide examples of young activists who have created change in their own communities, illustrating that people of all ages can be political leaders.
