book's message

"Transformational Leadership is Intentional."

Leadership is intentional. It is a calling. It takes a survivor. One Foot Planted in the Center, the Other Dangling off the Edge tells the story of how one person with a vision turned a church in NYC with a history of failure into a mecca of the arts, diversity, and celebration. Rev. Gordon Dragt uses both humor and practical suggestions based on his own experiences to guide and inspire others to overcome leadership challenges and utilize every resource in bringing new life to their organization. This book is a valuable tool, providing fresh perspectives and numerous examples of how to be a transformational leader bringing about change in an increasingly diverse multicultural world. But, as Gordon advises, be prepared for hard work, perseverance, and an adventurous journey. Transformational leadership is not for the faint-of-heart.
