Excerpt from  Tempered Radicals, by Debra E. Meyerson

"...a more inclusive, realistic, and inspiring way to think about leadership - and life - than are images of leadership found in fairy tales and the popular business press.  To gauge the efficacy of one's efforts against portraits of leaders as lone crusaders at the helm of dramatic transformation is to resign oneself to falling short, to feeling that one's efforts have not made a real difference.  The depiction of tempered-radical-as-leader provides more compelling metrics and ideals.  It allows that through a wide range of ways people make a difference for others, create new truths, and live lives of integrity, meaning, and purpose." - p. 19
