Lightning
The Nature of Leadership
by Bob Scher
photographs by Jane English
"A beautiful book. A wise book. A keeper of a book. It shows, not just tells you, a lot about leadership." --Warren Bennis, Distinguished Fellow at USC, Thomas S. Murphy Distinguished Research Fellow at Harvard Business School, and author of the recently published Geeks and Geezers
"Lightning flashes from a deeper dimension of leadership..." --Jacob Needleman, author of The American Soul and Money and the Meaning of Life
"Elegant, enchanting, and deeply wise. This book is a dance between word and image, with the power to captivate and transform. Like all authentic wisdom, it is lean and spare, simple yet profound. Truth always is." --Larry Dossey, M.D., author of Reinventing Medicine and Healing Words
"This book should be at the bedside of every CEO or anyone else who manages other people. Everyone will get something substantial and wonderful from it. I love this book!" --John DeSantis, CEO, Sygate Technologies
"After 70 years of business in the creative field, I'm delighted by such a fresh offering. The evocative photography illuminates many subtleties in the text. Opening this book to almost any page can open the mind and heart." --Robert Cameron, aerial photographer, publisher, Above Paris, Above New York, Above San Francisco, etc.
