"Hesselbein and Marshall Goldsmith, one of the USA's top executive coaches, edited the collection <i>The Leader of the Future 2</i>. Its 27 eloquent essays provide a kind of hopeful, idealistic best-case scenario for future leaders of non-profits and businesses.<br /> This is not a cookie-cutter, how-to approach. The job of the essayists is to provide food for thought and goals. The high quality of writing here should inspire anyone who has aspirations for leadership." —Bruce Rosenstein (<i>USA Today</i>, October 16, 2006)
