From the introduction through the appendices, this book details timely and essential principals of leadership. It is an impressive publication that can be used as a tool for anyone in a leadership capacity. Transformation in the way we approach leadership is long-overdue, both in the corporate and the non-profit. This book lays it on the line and lights the way. Excellent.

Rosen extends an invitation to the reader/leader to examine what healthy leadership looks like. This author invited us, in his earlier book, to examine and understand what healthy organizations look like. With healthy organizations as the foundation, healthy leadership as the building blocks, healthy people who are willing to be introspective and self-transforming are the DNA for transformation of leadership and organizations. An insightful approach, given that most books about "real change" (which seldom happens) focus externally, rather than internally. Real Change, according to Rosen, incorporates eight principles of the hard work of leading vs. mere posturing: vision, participation, learning, diversity, creativity, integrity, and community --- using wisdom as the implementation tool. Think this is impossible to do? There are rich examples of living/working people in existing organizations doing authentic inside-out transformation. A wonder-full challenge to the image managers who skim the surface and miss opportunities to be the butterfly wings that fan the potential wellness of organization health and evolution toward higher, more satisfying levels of functioning, both individually and collectively
