Wisdom of the Elders

Invitation

Over the past 10 years, I have read a great deal in the area of leadership. Several authors, some ancient and some contemporary, have spoken to me and I am including some of their "wisdom" sayings in this gathering of the elders. I imagine a conversation taking place between these folks about what is true and real in the practice of leadership. As such, I have done very little editorializing, trying instead to let each person speak for him/herself.
