Bravo to LaVenia and May for skillfully applying real world case stories to discover best practices in leading organizations from elementary school to non-governmental agencies. Melding research and practice, the book provides opportunities to develop adult leaders that promote emotional well-being, and compassionate and inclusive leadership through an equitable lens.

Even those of us who have "conquered" global markets on Wall Street should keep focus on the need to understand our clients that may be multigenerational and diverse. In the fast-paced tech-based setting, leadership training is not always prioritized, this book serves as a valuable tool for adult leadership development.
