Sailing Toward Horizon: A Leadership Voyage of Discovery takes place on the inland waters of Washington State and British Columbia. This book provides a rationale for why leadership needs to be different and examples of how to make it happen.The Great Man archetype is deeply embedded in our leadership DNA and is the default model for many organizations. This outdated archetype will not work in a world affected by climate change when entire coastal communities will need to mobilize to survive the impact of rising sea levels.You are invited to join the voyage and discover new ways to lead and work with colleagues. Time is running out to proactively respond to the impact of global warming.

This book challenges the utility of traditional command-and-control models that are no longer capable of supporting school leaders and describes how an effective educational leader in the Information Age applies dispositional thinking in order to be adaptive, self-aware and responsive to others.
