Description
Book SynopsisThe problems we face in the second decade of the twenty-first century are too significant to be solved by a few chosen heroes. Consequently, the role of leadership educators and authors extends beyond encouraging natural leaders to accept the leadership call. Instead, our role is to inspire all global citizens to take the baton when needed.
Against All Odds explores leadership through the lens of the characters from HULU's TV adaptation of The Handmaid''s Tale and the original novel by Margaret Atwood, alongside Atwood''s more recent sequel The Testaments (2019), analyzing the ethical dimensions of leadership.
