Description: For the Common Good: Redefining Civic Leadership is about the ideas that drive the work of the Kansas Leadership Center. We share our belief that 'civic leadership' needs to become more purposeful, provocative and engaging in order to cope with today's civic challenges and to help transform the civic culture of our communities and regions. We use the reallife leadership dilemmas of five Kansans to bring these ideas to life.
