"No two authors are better equipped than Bolman and Deal to address and answer the seminal dilemma of our time-the difference between making a living and making a life. They lead the way to discover how to lead a spirited life." --Warren Bennis, distinguished professor of business administration, University of Southern California, and author of Managing the Dream "Wonderful lessons about leadership in a very personal story of a relationship between a teacher and a student. It is teaching and storytelling at its best." --James A. Autry, author, Life and Work "Bolman and Deal understand that organizations are filled with living, breathing, feeling human beings, people who need more than a paycheck, more than a performance review, more than a promotion. This is a deceptively powerful realization for any leader." --Patrick Lencioni, author, The Five Temptations of a CEO: Obsessions of an Extraordinary Executive
