What Wendell Berry Teaches Leaders About Good Work
Wendell Berry was not a leadership theorist, but his writing asks some of leadership's most important questions: What is good work? What is enough? What do we owe one another? And how do we wisely steward what has been placed in our care? His life and work offer leaders a deeper way to think about success, community, responsibility, and human flourishing.
