Book Reviews of Salsa, Soul, and Spirit: Leadership for a Multicultural Age

Book Review: Leadership With Insight.
Summary: 5 Stars

"Salsa, Soul, and Spirit" describes eight aspects of leadership that are sorely lacking in too many business and government leaders today. This has a lot to do with the mess this country is in economically and in the court of world opinion. Drawing on interviews with Hispanic, Black and American Indian leaders eight guiding principles were identified that made those leaders worthy of their community's trust.
Additionally, many ideas are presented that operate from the heart to influence decisions. For example, leaders should think of the consequences of their actions and how they affect seven generations into the future. Keeping this seventh generation rule in mind influences a leader's choices over parks, paving over wetlands, huge salaries for executives as corporations fail, and selling our children into national debt.
As a Caucasian Executive Director of a non-profit in the Hispanic community I read this book to discover how to spend less time in the school of hard knocks. It fulfilled that quest, and more. It gave me a better sense of moral leadership that was not hinted of in the other highly recommended leadership books I had read. In fact, it made the amoral nature of the hot leadership book I was just reading painfully obvious. I didn't finish the other book.
While I did have to study several passages to discern differences between some points, the differences were there and worth differentiating. I have come away with a view of leadership that is more positive for those affected by my leadership and more satisfying at day's end. I recommend this book for anyone who wished to improve the lives of those they lead.

Summary of Salsa, Soul, and Spirit: Leadership for a Multicultural Age

As the world becomes flatter and globalization creates a world village, it is imperative that leaders have the cultural flexibility and adaptability to inspire and guide people from very distinct backgrounds that represents the whole rainbow of humanity. Salsa, Soul and Spirit: Leadership for a Multicultural Nation puts forth a multicultural leadership model that integrates eight practices from African American, Indian and Latino communities. Using principles such as ?Sankofa ? the ability to learn from the past?, ?I to We ? From Individualism to collective identity?, and ?Mi casa es su casa ?Developing a generosity of spirit?, this model offers leaders new approaches that will increase their interpersonal effectiveness with diverse populations by incorporating the influences, practices and values of a variety of cultures in a respectful and productive manner.
