Community Leadership 4.0: Impacting a World Gone Wiki
Overview
"Community Leadership 4.0 is an inspiring and practical roadmap for building strong communities and organizations in the 21st century. It is rich in how-to advice and examples of locales and individual leaders who are adapting successfully to constant, wrenching change". --Knight Kiplinger, Editor in Chief, The Kiplinger Letter and Kiplinger.com"At California State University we have a Master's degree program in Public Administration. I teach the organizational leadership class in that program. It is rather unique in that we target students who are working in government at the local level. As a result, I was especially interested inCommunity Leadership 4.0: Impacting a World Gone Wikisince it focuses on leadership in communities. I think this new book is an enormous contribution to the literature on community leadership. I am scheduled to teach the leadership class in the fall, and I will certainly assign it in that class." --Professor William Wallis, California State University, Graduate Studies in Public Administration"What do Seneca Falls, New York; Greensburg, Kansas; Durham, North Carolina; Seattle, Washington; McKinney, Texas; Kiev, Ukraine and Amsterdam, Holland have in common? They are some of the places you will pass through as Carolyn Corbin leads you on a thoughtful and forward-looking journey into the ways those who really care are shaping their communities for the future. It's a journey filled with information leaders must be contemplating as our communities face the emerging forces of the 21st century." --Dr. Gary D. McCaleb, Executive Director, Center for Building Community, Abilene Christian University; former board member, National League of Cities; former president, Texas Municipal League"Carolyn Corbin has distilled the essence of community and leadership for the next decade (at least) into a primer that is both insightful and effective. She clearly understands the immutable principles of leadership and has crafted practical lessons on what remains constant and what must change to lead communities in an uber-connected society. While her style of writing is conversational, she punctuates each chapter with specific key points, then challenges the reader's thinking through poignant questions that invite self-examination and change. Community Leadership 4.0 is a must read for everyone, but especially for those digital immigrants who wish to continue and advance their leadership effectiveness in a world gone Wiki." --Jeff Wacker, Fellow/Futurist, HP (Hewlett Packard) Enterprise Services, Office of the Chief Technology Officer (CTO)Description
