Senior students everywhere will benefit from Bratton and his impressive team of contributors’ crafting of an excellent work. Navigable, absorbing and eminently appropriate for students and practitioners alike, I expect this book will influence both current and shadow organizational leadership, as we steer organizations into a more nuanced and aware era of both for-profit and non-profit enterprise.
