商品簡介
Best-selling authors LaFasto and Larson embarked on a five-year quest to find out how it is that people become the kind of leaders who contribute to the well-being of those in need and thereby to the human condition. They study a group of 31 highly effective humanitarian leaders 11-88 years old, both male and female, from many different cultures and religious backgrounds. Through a series of interviews, the authors discern and describe certain common traits in all of the leaders, and illustrate those traits with those leaders' personal stories. Photos help personalize the stories further, and a series of questions at the end of each chapter are designed to facilitate classroom discussion. The book concludes with a chapter on ideas and resources for readers interested in becoming humanitarian leaders themselves. Annotation c2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
