Our partnerships in the development of this workbook and the facilitation guide emerged from years of collaboration and active engagement on the topic of leadership and social change. Many individuals offered expertise and input in the development of the modules and learning activities, and many others offered support and encouragement throughout the process.

Susan Komives, Nance Lucas, and Tim McMahon, the authors of Exploring Leadership (3rd edition), are the true architects of these materials. They provided the heavy lifting in thinking about leadership learning and personal development, and they helped us consider how to help students and leadership educators engage with their materials in powerful ways.

Thank you must go to the authors of the modules in the Facilitation and Activity Guide, which this workbook is based upon. These leadership educators from across the country have brought their best thinking, expertise, and experience to these materials.
