While this important volume captures a plurality of voices, a variety of contexts and a diversity of experiences, it is fascinating to detect and distil some important points of intersection in the narratives. Three that stand out are that leadership is always a journey, never a destination; it flourishes through social influence, seldom remote direction; and it is fundamentally about relationship, not power or prestige. More than just a collection of hard-earned wisdom and insight, this book is also a compelling read. * Doug Parkin, Principal Adviser for Leadership and Management, Advance HE, and independent author on higher education, UK *
