description: This book is born of my desire to summon us to be leaders for this time as things fall apart to reclaim leadership as a noble profession that creates possibility and humaneness in the midst of increasing fear and turmoil.I know it is possible for leaders to use their power and influence their insight and compassion to lead people back to an understanding of who we are as human beings to create the conditions for our basic human qualities of generosity contribution community and love to be evoked no matter what. I know it is possible to experience grace and joy in the midst of tragedy and loss. I know it is possible to create islands of sanity in the midst of wildly disruptive seas. I know it is possible because I have worked with leaders over many years in places that knew chaos and breakdown long before this moment. And I have studied enough history to know that such leaders always arise when they are most needed. Now it's our turn.
