Reviews / Votes
"This is truly an accessible and authentic read. Describing a range of experiences-from procuring a T-shirt gun in a counseling office to planning a Disney trip with a spouse and ending with a trip to Burning Man-Fitch and Van Brunt detail generational distinctions and the importance of spiritual and caring leadership in a unique and persuasive way. This is not 'your parents'' book on leadership."--Jason Ebbeling, Executive Director of Student Success, Connecticut Board of Regents for Higher Education
