“As a firm believer in overturning convention, I want to endorse this radical approach to leadership.
“As a firm believer in overturning convention, I want to endorse this radical approach to leadership. Marvin Weisbord and Sandra Janoff provide insight, guidance, and support for leaders who practice what I call ‘conscious leadership’ while aspiring to make a positive difference and enable people to grow. I highly recommend this book to fellow leaders on this journey.”
