The Thoughtful Leader: A Model of Integrative Leadership

‘Fisher’s style is easy to read and has a flair for making complex concepts accessible to the reader. The book is versatile and appropriate for audiences in a number of contexts, from those leading organizations or departments to students of leadership in higher education settings.’

Sarah Elaine Eaton, Journal of Educational Thought – vol 50:01:2017

“Knowledge upon which positive action can be taken is rarely provided and hence precious. By this standard, The Thoughtful Leader by Jim Fisher is a gold mine of value for the practice of leadership. Simply put, it is the most actionable book on leadership I have yet read. Anybody who wants to become a better leader would be wise to read it.”

Roger Martin, Institute Director of the Martin Prosperity Institute at the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto

“Jim has masterfully demystified ‘Leadership’ for those who think not everyone is meant to be a leader. He seamlessly takes the reader through the journey of managing, directing, and engaging to build confidence in anyone aspiring to be a leader. A must read for anyone in a leadership role or aspiring to move up the ladder.”

Deepak Chopra, President & Chief Executive Officer, Canada Post Corporation

“Jim Fisher’s mix of theory, stories, personal journeys, and real cases offers a wealth of information that showcases his broad and deep command of the many facets of leadership. By impressively pulling together leadership theories and concepts into a coherent framework, Jim successfully convinces us leadership can be learned.”
