Abstract
Peter Pruzen presents a vital and viable concept—spiritual based leadership—but with unnecessary diffidence. Where could any genuine leadership come from if not from something spiritual,—some sense of the “ought-to-be” presented in opposition to “things-as-they-are”?
Leadership resonates with vision and mission, looking beyond the present, choosing one course over another.
