Leadership: Personal Development and Career Success

LEADERSHIP: PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT AND CAREER SUCCESS, Fourth Edition, explores the leadership skills that are most valued in agricultural industries, helping students identify and enhance their strongest traits while developing the skills they need for professional success. This reader-friendly text covers the fundamentals of public speaking, Future Farmers of America (FFA) parliamentary procedure, group dynamics, interpersonal skills, and workplace readiness, as well as reinforcing basic English language, communication, and higher-order thinking abilities. Drawing on decades of experience in family farming and agricultural education, the authors offer practical guidance on topics such as budgeting, financial management, and investing, and include clear learning objectives and engaging activities to help students master the material and hone their skills. Now updated with the latest research; current FFA guidelines; and new tables, figures, and vignettes, this trusted text is an ideal resource to prepare students for successful agricultural careers--and roles as tomorrow's leaders in the food, fiber, and natural resources fields.
