This book tells the stories of sixteen 'ordinary' New Zealanders who have undertaken extra-ordinary leadership journeys in their lives. They are not stories of wealth, power or great fame, such as are more commonly found in leadership books, but stories of people who have transformed their lives, by finding and following a passionately held vocational 'calling'. In this book, academic and management consultant Peter Cammock relates the stories to the leadership literature and suggests that finding work we love and that also serves others is an essential foundation of both leadership and a happy and contributing life.
