RETURN

John McAuley

How many of us could refuse the opportunity to return to an earlier age with the knowledge that was acquired over the years? Being a sixteen year old with the knowledge of a forty year old would be a temptation hard to resist. This was exactly what Jack Dallas had fantasized about since he was a kid growing up in Park Slope, Brooklyn.
"Imagine!" he thought. "Sixteen again with what I know now." So it's not surprising then that when presented with the opportunity…he took it.

Leading from the In-Between

John McAuley

The nurture and care provided to potential leaders during the early years of their development is crucial to ensuring they become healthy and mature leaders of the future. In Leading from the In-Between, John demonstrates this principle as he draws on his many years working with emerging leaders and shares his poignant insights into successful leadership development. He shares how he systematically built into the lives of these younger leaders the mindset and skills that eventually nurtured them into strong, well-rooted “oaks.” The depth of his understanding is evident throughout the book. His invaluable experience with both younger and seasoned leaders, is brilliantly captured in his insights which he compares to a bridge that will help others avoid the pitfalls and celebrate the prizes to be won as we equip future leaders for their maximum impact and success. John’s faith story is equally part of the interlacing that underscores the importance of each individual’s relationship to leadership and spiritual formation. His concept of “cadence,” which invites emerging leaders to “be in step with wisdom” is refreshing. This book is enriched by John’s decades of leadership experiences at Muskoka Woods. His passion for developing emerging leaders into their full potential will inspire the rest of us to do the same.
