The Leader s Handbook About Peter Scholtes and This Book Peter Scholtes is an educator not a guru.
Gurus develop doctrines and then accept no deviation from the doctrine.
Educators, on the other hand, accept, encourage, and even try to inspire progressive deviations from they have said. Scholtes is an educator. Peter Scholtes suggests that a small group of managers read each chapter of the Leader s Handbook, first separately, and then gather to discuss what they have read. He suggests they discuss what they agree with, what they disagree with, and most importantly, how what they have read will affect their behavior. There is a new way to do business, a new philosophy of leadership, a new way to get work done.
