Abstract:
Leadership is an ever present reality in people’s lives. In a democratic society there is an immense need for leaders. Potential leaders emerge from a variety of situations coming from all cultural and racial backgrounds in all ages, sizes, shapes, and from both genders. Future leaders can benefit from training. It is the purpose of the Institute for Community Leadership (ICL) to train these individuals for civic leadership. Properly trained leaders will have the desire to maximize their training experiences. They will want to participate in leadership situations in their community so they can exercise the knowledge and skills gained through the ICL leadership training program.
