‘Hesselbein and Marshall Goldsmith, one of the USA’s top
executive coaches, edited the collection The Leader of the Future
2. Its 27 eloquent essays provide a kind of hopeful, idealistic
best-case scenario for future leaders of non-profits and
businesses. This is not a cookie-cutter, how-to approach. The
job of the essayists is to provide food for thought and goals. The
high quality of writing here should inspire anyone who has
aspirations for leadership.’
