Unfortunately, in my own experience, leaders are very reluctant to give up old successful methods of doing things (the glory days), even if they cannot take you into the next stage. This is not to suggest that Bolsinger encourages this in any way; in fact, he greatly recognizes Sacagawea’s critical role in aiding Lewis and Clark on their mission.

A final appreciation I had of the book was Bolsinger’s use of many other leading thinkers in terms of organizational leadership; he used and attributed their work generously. People must be engaged in meaningful work together if they are to transcend individual concerns and develop new capacities. Now that they were venturing off the map, they had already built a large cache of trust with their people.
