While books and articles on leadership abound, most of them are written by "successful" men who look at the world through the lens of a Western business model. The standard for success is based on the bottom line--financial growth in both the personal and corporate realms. This perspective has infected Christian leadership literature as well. In Leadership Reconsidered, Ruth A. Tucker calls for a revised definition--one that abandons the love of power and success for the eternal value of legacy. She challenges the assumption that a leader must by definition have followers, be an extrovert, crave recognition, and dominate others. Instead, legacy encompasses the values of behind-the-scenes influence that are available to everyone and last beyond the grave. This unique and refreshing perspective on leadership is accessible and engaging and will make an impact on anyone who takes it to heart.

In On Leadership: An Interdisciplinary Approach editors Fowler and Raehll provide one of the most comprehensive books on interdisciplinary leadership approaches to date. Contributing authors from across the nation and around the globe include individuals from an array of sectors, including Education (PK-12 and Higher Education), Business, Public and Nonprofit Organizations, Government, Military, Law Enforcement, and the Healthcare Industry. With a focus on highlighting the best practices as it applies to effective leadership in any given organization, the book offers a much needed analysis of what it means to lead successfully in the 21st Century and beyond. Endorsements: "If you are looking for a cutting-edge resource regarding interdisciplinary leadership, I highly recommend On Leadership! Each chapter has a rich perspective, which contributes to the interplay between one’s context, value system, level of authenticity, perspectives, and unique experiences. I highly recommend On Leadership and look forward to using this in the leadership courses I teach." — David De Jong, Dakota State University "As both a scholar in school leadership and a former school leader, I thought I knew just about everything about leadership, but after reading this book, I was delightfully enlightened about the practical application of leadership in varying contexts around the world. Organized in three sections, this book clearly presents the practical application of leadership through an interdisciplinary approach. Fowler and Raehll provide a rich text with contributions of authors in both PK-12 Schools and Higher Education, and this text would be a welcome addition to any educational leadership program." — Sonya D. Hayes, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville "Effective leadership development and corresponding leadership skills are not unique to any one profession, or leadership position. Effective leadership transcends all professions and effective leadership is evident in all effective leaders and leadership positions. Therefore, On Leadership: An Interdisciplinary Approach, is a timely must read for current and aspiring leaders. Siloed leadership development must be a thing of the past." — Michael Schwanenberger, Northern Arizona University "Undoubtedly forward-thinking content that will serve as key fundamentals in the future training of leaders in and out of the educational landscape. Centered on ethics and authenticity, this text truly represents a wholesome approach to modeling effective leadership practices in the 21st century." — Alexandrea Horton, Former PreK-12 Educator

This book highlights the fact that leaders do indeed affect the performance of organizations or the well-being of society for better or worse--to cast either a shadow or light by the exercise of their leadership. Modern psychology with its theories of human behavior, which does not acknowledge the existence of the spiritual realm, cannot explain the carnage and evil often associated with the dark side of leadership. This book focuses on the dark side of leadership in a multidimensional manner and provides a psychospiritual approach toward understanding personality disorders and leader derailment. It highlights an area that has not been exclusively studied by leadership researchers to date--the influence of spiritual forces in personality disorders, which lead to leadership failure and derailment. This book calls for a more interdisciplinary approach and holistic understanding of the dark side of leadership, inseparably relating body, soul, and spirit as they function individually and relationally. It highlights the fact that the restoration of personality will require sustained dialogue between theologians and the medical and psychological professions. This book provides solid information and new insights for anyone seeking to understand the dark side of leadership.
