Editorial Reviews
Review
“The information is excellent. If a way can be found to have the book serve as a wake-up call to educators that leadership can be developed and it should be part of college and university programs, it may be more than useful; it could be revolutionary.”–Stanley P. Wilson, former Vice-President for Agriculture, Home Economics and Veterinary Medicine, Auburn University

“As a federal professional in the USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) for over 34 years, I appreciate the need for resources that assist in the development of managers with leadership qualities to take agriculture and all its components to the next level. With growing populations, climate changes, competing challenges of disease and hunger, etc., we need leaders with the qualities classified in this book.”–John P. Cherry, research collaborator, ARS Eastern Regional Research Center

“In my studies on leadership, those authors with the most to offer are the ones who have the experiences and share their testimonies. I find veterans, like you, to be more relevant, reliable, and valid when contemplating everyday situations and long-term vision. I appreciate how you use case studies to draw on your extensive experiences as this provides application for the reader that is most helpful. As leaders, your credentials are impeccable and I am pleased you use them to your collective advantage throughout the book.”–Dr. Keith Barber, Vice Chancellor University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture
