About this ebook
One of America’s historic strengths is the ability to incorporate aspects from many different cultures to create a stronger whole. Our music, literature, sports, architecture, food, and fashion have all benefitted. But current leadership approaches are overwhelmingly written by White males and remain distressingly Eurocentric. Juana Bordas has set out to change this. In this influential book, she shows how incorporating Latino, Black, and American Indian approaches can enrich leadership and offers a more viable model for our expanding multicultural society.

Reviews for Salsa, Soul, and Spirit

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was a great book. I've been struggling to find leadership materials that don't follow a traditional, euro-centric, patriarchal concept of leadership. This book really highlights a great many aspects of leadership from a less "me" orientation and more communal perspective from a variety of other cultures and histories. I'd highly recommend it.
