What does it mean to be a leader today?

This collection of original essays takes a rigorous look at who we need to be as leaders in the midst of unprecedented change. Selman views leadership as a linguistic phenomenon and an ongoing process of transformation based in personal commitment and responsibility. In this concise primer, he explores the three tasks of leaders: 1) observing the linguistic interpretations which limit our thinking, our possibilities and our choices; 2) creating problems that deserve to be solved; and 3) inventing new futures for our organizations, our communities, and our world.
