I challenge our readers to try the various leadership models and theories presented in this book, determine which are the best fit for their practice, and utilize those approaches in day-to-day practice.

Practitioners, like most of the workforce, spend the bulk of their time working for organizations. Because they rarely engage in their practice alone, their ability to work effectively with others is of paramount importance. The theories, models, and practices in this book offer a framework for effective leadership that can be applied at all organizations, regardless of the size or type of organization, or the position of the leader in the organization’s hierarchy. All disciplines in the twenty- first century demands leadership that is intelligent, purposeful, caring, competent, and ethical, with a commitment to making a difference in the lives of the people served.
