Summary

The distilled wisdom of over a dozen years of corporate consulting and a twentyyear meditation practice, Lightning: The Nature of Leadership combines powerful words with evocative nature photography to reminds us of the larger context in which we live our professional lives. Scher shows us how our actions in our work lives are intimately connected with the larger world we live in, and how natural laws apply to such seemingly mundane activities as meetings, phone calls, and the daily decisions each of us are called to make. The book is a gift to keep nearby for inspiration and guidance, and as a constant reminderof the bigger picture.
