Reviews

I was inspired by this book! Amaladas uses the compelling narratives of 11 intentional leaders from different walks of life to show us how real, positive, meaningful change begins. At a time in our history when violence, in all its variations, permeates the every day, Intentional Leadership gives us hope. Diane Kristjansson, M Ad.Ed, Full Chroma Consulting, Canada In a day when shifting concepts of leadership abound in the global community, Amaladas' accessible narrative uses a story, relatable models of world leaders, and a process to illustrate for us the what, why now, and how of 'intentional leadership'. This is a must read and workshop study for all levels of leadership, from corporate and NGO boardrooms and offices to volunteer organizations, classroom studies, and government. Chris Butterill, University of Manitoba, Canada The recent great expansion of leadership studies raises many interesting and puzzling questions. Dr. Amaladas's book illuminates several of these issues. Intentional Leadership will inform government leaders, student leaders, and those in grassroots and organizational leadership positions in society. It will engage and encourage a transdisciplinary audience from across the social sciences. Sean Byrne, University of Manitoba, Canada This book, grounded in narrative research, is a well-written meditation on intentional leadership. The author uses the examples of famous leaders to explain intentional leadership, that is, leading with heart. The book is a practical leadership guide based on the priority of love for the other, a concept reminiscent of Aquinas and Levinas. Erich Schellhammer, Royal Roads University, Canada At last, a leadership book that is novel, innovative, timely, inclusive and takes a narrative approach! Intentional leadership is a concept that every business and lay person should be familiar with, lest we all react through our lives. Learning to lead intentionally is paramount for global development and stability! Ann Dinan, President, The Deeper Leadership Institute, USA
