Leading in an Upside-Down World
New Canadian Perspectives on Leadership
This book results from a leadership conference Patrick Boyer organized for University of Guelph in the summer of 2002. He invited 16 speakers with diverse perspectives on leadership, and with university officials hosted the event. Then he gathered their papers, edited them, and wrote introductory and concluding chapters to frame this rich contribution of fresh thinking about leadership in a world turned up-side down.
