The premise is that we are all leaders. When we care enough to want to create a better future in which to live and work, then we are ready to lead. Exploring the context of the passion which calls us to lead brings into focus our personal framework for leadership learning. As we learn, we discover, develop, and nourish the leader within. This book links together the why, the who, and the what of leadership in a personalized, but nonprescriptive format. Reflective questions and journaling suggestions assist the reader in a journey that is unique for each individual and in each context. Suggested resources and activities for learning leadership make this a useful tool in classroom or group settings as well as for an emerging leader. The book does not advocate any single theory or approach, but guides the reader to a personal understanding of leadership and its applications.

Excellent book, highly recommended,
By popeye_sailor (Coquitlam, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Leading from Within: Developing Personal Direction (Professional Practices in Adult Education and Human Resource Development Series) (Hardcover)
I took a leadership course that used this book and I must admit that I was very impressed with the simplicity but yet earthly manner which Nancy Huber (author) has spoken in, as she speaks directly to the heart. She calls forth to search for the leader within us: reasoning us with logic of what it means to be a true leader, encouraging, motivating, building a vision, desiring a change, building a community around us, to find the authentic side of us, and acting upon in "doing" leadership in all aspects in our lives rather than just "knowing" the technical aspects of it at work. It really helps to align one's life compass with one's life call, and I highly recommend it as you will never be the same after reading it. This book is for those who desire to be a true leader, enough to warrant for a true change. It contains pure andedote of truths that will only make you stronger in character and more in tune with your true self. Once you've started to "lead from within", you won't feel artificial or fake again at work, any place or anywhere else. Excellent book... highly recommended.

This review is from: Leading from Within: Developing Personal Direction (Professional Practices in Adult Education and Human Resource Development Series) (Hardcover)
This book really helped me to explore my own ideas concerning leadership! It provided wonderful exercises at the end of each chapter that solidified the material for me. It helped me to realize that we are all leaders and we can all develop our own philosiphies about leadership.
