This immensely wonderful book, full of practical
lessons and next steps, as well as of stories by practitioners in the field, kept reminding me of the
lessons in that parable, and
why I had chosen them as my final words to my students —
leadership, like all life, demands mindfulness, not only for the sake of ourselves as individuals, but in order to be true to the purpose of making life better for those we work with and those we lead.
