Leadership Can Be Taught by Sharon Daloz Parks

A Bold Approach for a Complex World

The book argues that leadership is a teachable, ethical practice rooted in self-awareness, moral imagination, and civic responsibility; effective programs cultivate reflective habits, practical experience, mentoring relationships, and community-building to prepare individuals to act for the common good. It emphasizes pedagogies that develop character, discernment, and the capacity to listen, tell meaningful stories, and lead collaboratively rather than relying on innate traits or technical skills alone.
