How do we begin? : differing expectations -- What is really going on here? : engaging people at the edge of learning -- Learning from failure in public : the power of small group consultation -- Listening to the music beneath the words : the practice of presence -- What endures? : the power of language, image, and metaphor -- Courage and costs : discovering how to teach the unteachable -- The same approach, other teachers : the question of transferability -- Toward a more adequate myth : the art of leadership -- Leadership can be learned : strengths and limitations of this approach.
Review: "In Leadership Can Be Taught, Sharon Daloz Parks invites readers to step into the classroom of Harvard leadership virtuoso Ronald Heifetz and his colleagues to experience a dynamic type of leadership and a corresponding mode of learning called "case-in-point." This unique approach utilizes students' own experiences - and the classroom environment itself - as a "studio-laboratory" for working through the types of challenges people actually face in today's workplace. In this setting, failures become active experiments not just in learning, but in living leadership."--BOOK JACKET.
