yam2u Dec 30, 2006:
i think mona's offer is accurate & would work in most cases. but for a name, too descriptive/wordy, imo. lacks punch in english. and since 'character bldg' is inherent in 'leadership', i'd go with 'Leadership Academy'.

Peer comment(s):
agree yam2u : except in english, as a name for an academy, it's a bit of a mouthful to me.
