“Leadership Solutions challenges the conventional
focus on individual leadership development. By highlighting the
critical role of culture and organizational practices, it provides
the pathway to build the leadership capacity of your organization.
Leadership Solutions has an ideal blend of insights and
practical tools that will make it essential reading for anyone
trying to accelerate the development of leadership in their
organization.”

“Leadership Solutions delivers what the title
promises. Moving from an analysis of the leadership gap, the book
offers a holistic model of leadership then offers a realistic and
practical pathway forward for dealing with the leadership gap.
Specific steps for determining leadership requirements, measuring
the gap, and acting to build capacity move this book beyond what a
lot of other leadership books offer. I also very much like the
finale of the book, with its emphasis on individual
responsibilities for doing your part and shaping your future. While
some great leaders may be born, the vast majority are
‘made’ and the first responsibility of any leader is to
take responsibility for themselves.”
—Dr. Dan Ondrack, Professor and Academic Director –
Executive Programs, Joseph L. Rotman School of Management,
University of Toronto
“Leadership Solutions offers the theory and
practice that can enable holistic leadership to develop within a
strategy-driven organization. Today, the need for leadership
transcends traditional functional expertise and hierarchical
structures. This book provides the template for the personal and
corporate growth that will permit holistic leaders to transform any
organization.”

Chief Executive Officer, University Health Network
