"This book is for anyone interested in leadership and learning about it from a collective approach. Gives lots of insight to white American culture, and explains Latino, Native American, and African American leadership methods derived from their cultures. Sometimes it was hard for me to distinguish one key point Bordas was making from another key point, but I loved her passion and enthusiasm for mixing our cultures and acknowledging, accepting, and using the best ideas and leadership approaches to make a better world."
"I thought I knew what "diversity" meant before reading this book but my definition is so much richer now that I've read Bordas' words. This book gives a great account of the strong leadership in the Black, Hispanic and American Indian cultures. Bordas explains the lessons of people of color, and how they have a strong sense of community ("we" vs. "I") and feel a civic duty. These communities have historically been oppressed, which has required them to stay together, help each other, and work together to make their communities stronger...just to survive. This is a must-read for anyone who wants to be a leader (which should be everyone!) because it really adds a depth to your understanding of servant leadership."
