Leadership

Perserverance

Our biggest hopes and dreams, the aspirations we cherish, are most often those we are called to struggle for.  Perseverance is the decision we make each day to keep trying, to hang on one more time, or to pick ourselves up and begin anew.

I am very excited about the new book Perserverance by leadership consultant, educator, speaker, author Margaret Wheatley, PHD.   I feel like this book is being released just when the world needs it most.

From Wheatley’s website:

“Perseverance is a day-by-day decision not to give up.  Wheatley does not offer the usual feel-good, rah-rah messages.  Instead, she focuses on the situations, feelings, and challenges that can, over time, cause us to lose heart or lose our way. When we feel lost, overwhelmed, betrayed or exhausted, we need to know we have a choice for how we respond.  And we have to nurture the rewarding times, when we experience the joy of working together on something hard but worthwhile, when we realize we’ve made a small difference. ”

I am going to immediately order three copies.
