Read2Lead

We believe you can learn valuable lessons and sharpen your mind by reading a diverse collection of books and articles.  You can also help develop those you lead by encouraging them to read!  With that in mind, we have developed ready to use reading based LPDs called Read2Lead modules. Our Read2Lead modules take two forms – book based and article based.  Book based Read2Lead modules may span several LPD sessions, while our article-based modules are designed to be conducted in a single session.  The modules include everything you need to run a reading based LPD, including a summary, discussion questions, sample session schedule, and additional resources.

Here is our current list of our article-based Read2Lead Modules.
