About

Help the next generation become the next great generation

Whether the emerging generation knows it or not, they need you. Their greatness tomorrow begins with your guidance today. But as the gap between generations widens and our shared experiences dwindle, we find it increasingly difficult to connect with and remain relevant to today's young people.

In this paradigm-shifting book, Jonathan Catherman shares a fresh look at guiding twenty-first-century youth to become confident and capable adults. With relevant research and real-world examples, Catherman shows us the benefits of preparing to accept four challenges that will unite us all and empower the emerging generation to become the next great generation:

· build bridges between generations
· transform raw talents into valued strengths
· practice stewardship before leadership
· live with purpose


"Moving beyond the traditional and often outdated notions of leadership, Guiding the Next Great Generation is a must-read to help inform and empower teachers, coaches, stakeholders, and parents to use strengths, stewardship, and purpose as catalysts to help guide and develop future leaders."--Matthew Ohlson, PhD, director of the Taylor Leadership Institute
