He also distills collective leadership \"principles-in-action\" that he believes should sustain such institutions, including Texas A\u0026amp;M, in the future, articulating an unwavering argument that the land-grant mission, through teaching, research, and outreach through extension, remains the single most powerful educational force within our society to equip citizens with the means to adapt to create meaningful opportunities, improve quality of life, and keep the world on a sustainable course amid uncertain times.\u003cbr\u003eBosserman then places Hiler's reflections in the context of institutional change strategies and situational leadership styles to establish a \"do-it-yourself tool kit\" that includes effective leadership, collaboration, and mentorship approaches and techniques for those who strive to make a positive impact in their organizations, regardless of their starting point.\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward Allan Hiler,Steven Lee Bosserman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1603444289\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781603444286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas A\u0026amp;M University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Edward Allan Hiler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49097006317823,"sku":"9781603444286","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/together-we-can-edward-allan-hiler-9781603444286","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
