Praise for Leading with Spirit, Presence, and Authenticity

This is a marvelously rich book. I commend it highly.
Ian I. Mitroff, professor emeritus, University of Southern California

This book is a timely reminder that leadership takes courage to remain in the present moment, to accept the ambiguity and uncertainty that is often part of the present, and to be willing to ask probing questions to start the conversation. I come away with the certainty that I need to read it again and again to appreciate the new way of thinking that the thought-provoking questions found in the chapters have stirred up within.
Dawn Brown, head of Perception Shift, international speaker, author, and psychotherapist

Professor Goldman Schuyler has the unique talent of being able to combine the best of social science with profound humanitarian insights, as well as psychological perspectives and a good heart. The readers of her book will be better for it, on more levels than they will at first realize.
Amitai Etzioni, author of My Brother s Keeper

This is by no means a standard leadership book. Rather, it emphasizes the possibilities of higher purpose in leadership. It focuses on spiritual practice, awareness, mindfulness, and ways to develop in these, in multiple types of leadership settings and from multiple religious traditions. It illustrates the value of such development for leadership action aimed at creating a better world. It will be very inspirational for aspiring leaders and current leaders alike.
