Leading from the In-Between
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.
It’s Hard Not To Stare
It’s Hard Not to Stare is the second book unpacking StreetLevel’s children’s Compassion Series. The material encourages children to look at their world through the lens of compassion and understanding, rather than assumption, judgment or fear. Tim believes this approach will impact the way we care for, and befriend, people in our communities and beyond, and that when we nurture compassion in a child in one area of life, the potential is greater that this goodness will spill over into all other areas. Tim Huff addresses issues related to disabilities in this book, as he did homelessness in the first of the series, applying the same tender and truthful prose, along with bright and courageous child-friendly illustrations, which have been heightened by the insights and wisdom of his professional peers, educators, moms and dads.
