"Soder's timely contribution to this body of knowledge will inspire reflection and serious thought." (Planning for Higher Education, 12/02-2/03)
"...beautifully written.... The author is well positioned to write this book." (Planning for Higher Education, 3/4/03)
"[T]his book is not an angel food cake recipe for effective leadership. Business executives should expect no lists of things to do in order to keep clients from leaving by the back door while they are ushering new ones through the front. School principals will look in vain for five easy steps to good relationships with parents. Yet, this is an eminently practical book, a handbook for survival as well as excellence in leadership and sleeping with a clear conscience." — From the Foreword by John I. Goodlad"When we all think we understand leadership, Soder, with quotations from the ages, shows us new, fascinating, and immensely important elements. A stimulating adventure." — Fisher Howe, author, The Board Member's Guide to Strategic Planning and Welcome to the Board
