Читать книгу The Art and Adventure of Leadership - Rob Asghar - Страница 7

The authors wish to thank a number of people who helped bring a coherent final form to the swirl of ideas contained herein. Dr. Sadie Moore, adjunct assistant professor at the University of Southern California and longtime aide to both Steve Sample and Warren Bennis, was of immense value. She not only guided the Art and Adventure of Leadership course for so many years but also helped translate the ideas that arose within that wonderful learning laboratory into one book with one voice.

Martha Harris, our longtime colleague, guided us along with wisdom and insight. Anne Westfall, longtime chief of staff to Dr. Sample, and Marie Dolittle, longtime aide to Dr. Bennis, kept the project steadily on course. Debra Ono of USC's Marshall School of Business was invaluable in bringing structure to early drafts. We are enduringly grateful to USC's 11th president, C. L. Max Nikias, for his support of this project and for his friendship. And Dave Logan, a dear colleague at both USC and Jossey-Bass, provided the push without which this book never would have been started.

Finally, Karen Murphy at Jossey-Bass and Judy Howarth, Christine Moore, and Lauren Freestone at John Wiley & Sons were brilliant, deft, and supportive in bringing this project, so dear to the authors' hearts, to completion.
