Boundless Leadership is a ground-breaking book that redefines what it means to be a true leader today. Rather than a superficial list of mundane and trite qualities found among “great leaders,” Boundless Leadership takes a deep dive into the leader him/herself to identify the critical characteristics that define authentic, mindful and effective leadership in a world full of sloganeering. This book is as much for the leader as it is for those he or she leads. A unique and progressive take on the organization of the future, Joe and Elazar are to leadership what Demming was to quality. A must read for both current and aspiring leaders.
