There are a lot of ways to learn
about leadership—books, seminars, classes, degree
programs—but how do you learn to be a leader?
At NOLS, leadership isn’t just a concept to
be studied and pondered; we give you the tools to
be a leader. What you learn here are leadership qualities
you’ll carry with you the rest of your life.
NOLS Leadership Works for Life
The focus of leadership NOLS-style is on leading
small groups in the wilderness, but the lessons transfer
to your life when you participate in groups at school,
in sports and at work.
What is an Expedition?
Setting
goals, planning, efficiency and teamwork. Whether
you're climbing Denali or embarking on a new business
venture, these are the skills that will get you to
the top. Planning, preparing, performing… it's
a formula that applies not only to the wilderness,
but to the expedition of life.
What is Expedition Leadership
at NOLS?
Expedition leadership means timely, appropriate actions
that guide and support your group to set and achieve
realistic
goals. Great leaders create an environment that inspires
individuals and groups to achieve their full potential.
