• How is leadership different from managing?

• Are well-LED organizations more successful than
  well-managed ones?

• Who will develop the next generation of leaders
  for today's companies?

Michael Shenkman, Ph.D., a recognized leader mentor, and author of the new book The Arch and the Path: The Life of Leading Greatly (Sandia Heights Media), has surprising answers to these and other perplexing issues that surround leading in today's world.

As president of Arch of Leadership, specialists in developing leaders of organizational change, Dr. Shenkman has shown major companies and non-profit organizations how to cultivate outstanding leaders for more than 25 years. Author of two previous books and a popular keynote speaker and seminar leader, his articles on leadership and mentoring have been published in scores of prestigious journals including The Handbook of Business Strategy, US Industry Today, Leadership Excellence, Nonprofit World and Training Magazine.

Michael's new book is not your usual book on leadership. It depicts the arduous and joyful path leaders must take if they are to guide their organizations to success. Great and creative leaders of successful organizations, insists author Shenkman, open peoples’ lives to more expansive and encompassing possibilities.

"Creative leading" is a journey of the mind, heart and spirit that is like no other, requiring a commitment that brings with it special demands. As such it is not a commitment everyone will make. But once made, if leaders are to sustain their efforts in their chosen role, learning the disciplines and practices of the life of leading is essential.

As a mentor to leaders of successful organizations of all types, Michael Shenkman has guided many aspiring executives down the path to a life of leading greatly. His new book summarizes and crystallizes the experiences those executives have had in becoming great leaders.

According to Charles E. Hoffman, CEO and President of Covad Communications, "this book is essential reading" for leaders who aspire not only to success but to affecting their "followists’" lives in important and meaningful ways.
