Leadership is an inner sojourn and is found in acts of self-expression. The book, "Leading from Within: Poetry That Sustains the Courage to Lead" by Sam M. Intrator and Megan Scribner, is divided into seven sections: Called, Defining Moments, Sometimes it Aches, Pay Attention, Dare to Endure, Leading Together, and Back at It. Each section has about fifteen poems in it. The thesis of the book is that real and authentic leadership comes from the voice within and "from our own realization that the time has come to go beyond dreaming to doing."
