"A novel approach, which makes the practice of leadership everybody's responsibility."

"Through reading Joe Raelin's book I now realize the leadership style we used at Harley was 'leaderful' in character. It wasn't automatic but through such devices as our circle structure and partnering with our stakeholders, we emphasized the collective nature of leadership. Success comes only when we all pitch in as leaders. This leaderful approach was one of the critical factors in Harley's success."

"Joe Raelin offers another strong voice reminding us that leaders are the people in all levels in organizations, not just those who sit at the top. He describes a paradigm where engagement, relationships, participation and trust at all levels are essential in the operation of the organization. It can start anywhere, as you will see in his book."

"Our organizations and societies increasingly face complex issues for which hierarchical leadership is inherently inadequate. The profound confusion between leadership and formal authority is sure to persist until, as Joe Raelin shows, we develop new, non-hierarchical ways of thinking about and developing leadership."
