Publisher's Synopsis
Leadership is intentional. It is a commitment. It isn't for the "weak of heart." "One Foot Planted in the Center, the Other Dangling Off the Edge: How Intentional Leadership Can Transform" tells the story of how one person with a vision turned a New York City church with a history of failure and decline into a mecca of the arts, diversity, justice, and celebration. Using humor and practical suggestions experienced from real live situations, the author guides and inspires others to overcome leadership challenges and utilize every resource in bringing new life to their organization. This book is a valuable tool, providing fresh perspectives and numerous examples and helpful ideas of how to be a transforming leader bringing about systemic change in an increasingly diverse world. In real estate it's location, location, location. In refreshing and transforming a stagnant, declining organization or institution, it's leadership, leadership, leadership. That is what this book is about.
