New York Times best-selling author and youth advocate Wes Moore knows that being a leader, both in your private life and in your profession, comes down to one thing: personal responsibility. Drawing on his experiences as a leader in the public and private sectors and in the military, Moore explains that embracing your own personal responsibility – and holding yourself accountable for your choices – is a quality that makes great "transformational leaders": leaders who create a vision, then inspire and empower those around them to execute that vision.
All freshmen will have read The Other Wes Moore (http://theotherwesmoore.com/) as a summer reading and QU 101 requirement.
