Understand Leadership Effectiveness

Backed by Kouzes and Posner’s extensive research, The Student Leadership Challenge® is tailored for students and young leaders. It provides a comprehensive understanding of what effective leadership truly entails.

Develop Critical Skills for Success

By applying these practices early, students gain the chance to experiment, learn, and hone their leadership abilities. This not only sets the stage for academic and early career accomplishments but also equips them for a lifetime of making a positive impact.

Increase Impact and Confidence

Confidence is a key aspect of strong leadership. The Student Leadership Challenge makes leadership more accessible by emphasizing that it’s rooted in behavior and exists within each of us.

How Does It Work?

Students begin by rating themselves on the frequency with which they exhibit 30 proven leadership behaviors. This is an opportunity for self-reflection and is an introduction to the key behaviors they need to engage in to be an effective leader.

The student will then request 8-10 observers (mentors, educators, and peers) to rate the student on the frequency with which they observe each leadership behavior. These external perspectives are confidential.

The self-assessment and the observer perspectives are compiled into a comprehensive report of the student’s strengths and weaknesses and can be the basis for crafting a developmental action plan.
