Summoned to Lead Author:Dr. Leonard Sweet A retelling of the Ernest Shackleton story to showcase the fine arts of leadership that emerged from his failed expedition. — Leaders are neither born nor made. Leaders are summoned. They are called into existence by circumstances, and those who rise to the occasion are LEADERS. — In leadership hearing a vision is more important... more » than casting one. Leadership is a "calling"-a call you respond to, not a position you assume or a role you train for. The summons could come when you least expect it.
"We're all "players" in life. Yet sometimes life summons "players" to be "leaders." It may happen only once or twice in life. Up to that point, the jagged pieces of your life don't seem to fit into any earth-shaking pattern. But then life calls you out and summons you forth. A participant in life becomes a leader, and even "born leaders" find themselves following the summoned leader." Leonard Sweet« less
