    Henri J. M. Nouwen: In the Name of Jesus: Reflections on Christian Leadership

    http://books.google.com/books?id=B991NiiS9GcC We are indeed facing an unprecedented crisis of leadership, Ron Heifetz avows, but it stems as much from our demands and expectations as from any leader's inability to meet them. His strategy of leadership applies not only to people at the top but also to those who must lead without authority. Sketched with precision, touched by empathy, and unfailingly interesting, this cast of characters brings Heifetz's theory to life, demonstrating what a practitioner can do - or avoid doing - to assume leadership in an age without easy answers.
