I'm
Leading. Is Anyone Following?
How would you define good leadership? Schools around the
world are invited to participate by identifying the world's most
effective leaders. Join us by profiling your choice of
leaders from history, the recent past, or the present-day leaders who
positively shaped the times in which they lived. You might even
highlight a leader in your school. Don't miss the Leadership
Kaleidoscope of student writing and displays. We promise it will
inspire you!
