Reviews
"For most of human history, leadership was inseparable from wisdom. Today it’s mostly about power and cleverness. Paul Houston and Steve Sokolow’s practical and down to earth guide will help many find their way back."
- Peter Senge , Founding Chair, Society for Organizational Learning

"This book is GREAT! The authors have taken a very slippery topic (spirituality & leadership) and made the connection from the spiritual roots to the practical fruits. It's seamless!"
- Chuck Bonner, Assistant Principal , Great Valley High School, Malvern, PA

"The Spiritual Dimension of Leadership reminds us that the job of leadership is complex... but the actions we take can be very simple and yet have a big impact. There are valuable insights here for leaders at every level."
- Anne L. Bryant, Executive Director, The National School Boards Association
