Opis

Over the years, Egypt has suffered a lack of adequate opportunities for young adults to develop and practice leadership. There has also been an absence of information and understanding about the youth leadership competencies, processes, and evaluative tools needed to build effective leadership programs. Egypt needs to identify an effective path for creating and sustaining young leaders for a better tomorrow. After the 2011 uprising, it has become evident how important youth are and how they were neglected for many decades. This book is based on a qualitative study supported by quantitative data with a modified Delphi design with a purpose to explore, examine, and refine the leadership skills and competencies needed for young Egyptian leaders to determine how to develop multiple youth development and leadership opportunities for youth at ages 15-24 and to establish necessary effective evaluative methods.
