Ever look around and feel frustrated by the problems you see? Whether it's drama on your basketball team, in your friend group, in your home, in your city. Have you ever wanted to help? To step in and fix problems? But you're not sure how? Good leadership is the key to solving most problems. Good leadership unleashes people - allowing them to be their best selves and to come up with the best solutions. Leadership is one of the most necessary yet under-taught skills of the 21st century.
