Looking at the third sector with new eyes

As an Executive Director of a small non-profit Dr. Cheshire's work has given me a new perspective on my role and that of our agency in the community. His case examples provided the context needed to apply the theories presented. It is a great honor that I was able to work with Dr. Cheshire during the summer of 2003 and discuss practical applications of "Leading By Heart" to my work and my leadership style. He is truly an amazing man with a wealth of experience. This is a must read for leaders in the non profit world.

Potential of Leading By Heart

Today, when imperious Management is confused with Leadership and many "leaders" at the highest levels of business and government have thrown moral practice aside for personal power and profit, Dr. Cheshire's book is a charismatic call for an ethical rebirth of Leadership. Since completing a Master's level program he taught in 1997, with a array of stellar guests, I have followed the ideas laid out in the Quantum Civics Paradigm presented in Leading By Heart. It is a call to arms for those chivalrous enough to place a standard higher than reward, in their lives, their work and their voluntary activities. Dr. Cheshire states the sound philosophy of doing the greatest good, at the least expense, for the greatest number of people, over the longest period, in any endeavor. Leading By Heart is also the public presentation of his theories of organizational DNA and the formula for assessing organizational potential, I=am². These are exciting ideas with great potential in the fields of leadership and fundraising.The material in this book has moved me in my career and personal life, and I have been forever changed by it. Read it, use it and the world will be better for your being here. That is the promise in each of us. That is the potential of Leading By Heart.

Stimulating & inspiring for every voluntary leader

Leading by Heart outlines a leadership model which I have used extensively since studying with Dick Cheshire at Chapman University. The model applies to not-for-profit organizations and businesses. In fact, I have applied his leadership principles to all my classes and writing projects. The result has been greater clarity and focus on the importance of personal responsibility. I recommend this book to every voluntary leader in need of a new perspective on the challenges before them.

Leadership for out time

I find Cheshire's book to be applicable to the world in which we live. As a pastor of a church, I have bought copies for my Executive Board members to read, knowing that his emphasis upon compassionate leadership is what we all need to hear. He blends current scientific thought -- quantum physics -- with the need for new thinking in the Leadership world. It was also helpful to have two scenarios played out -- volunteer institutions needing change -- in the form of college presidents and the dilemmas they face. "Leading by heart is the primary challenge of our time." I can't agree more. Anyone who works with volunteers needs to read this book.

I'am a former student of Dick Cheshire and I've use the notes which became part of the book as a method of evaluating my organization many times. I believe his book "Leading by Heart" is an important contribution to the new thinking about leadership. Which was my original reason for taking his classes. It is directed to voluntary action organzations. However I especially recommend it to project leaders in business, government and nonprofit organizations.
