Building Leadership Bridges 2002

Cynthia Cherrey and Larraine R. Matusak, Editors (Center For Creative Leadership, North Carolina Press, 2002)

"Each year the International Leadership Association (ILA) grows and evolves, displaying creative and exciting new ideas. This publication is evidence of this growth. It is our hope that it will make a powerful impact on leadership theory and practice worldwide. It reflects the finest work of scholars and practitioners who participated in the conference held in Miami, Florida, in November 2001.

This monograph contains Meg Wheatley's keynote address and other papers that were of particular interest to both scholars and practitioners. In the words of Kellerman and Webster, "we sought to create a mix-a meeting of the minds between those who study leadership and those who practice it." Thus, the publication Building Leadership Bridges was born. This is the second annual edition.

The Miami conference was held just two months after the tragic events of September 11. The attack on the World Trade Center, where citizens from over sixty countries lost their lives, and the continuing conflict in many places around the world touch us all. These past and present global events serve as a critical reminder of the importance of the work that we all do in the study and practice of leadership--international leadership-- is all the more important during these uncertain times. The conference and this resulting publication give us the opportunity to contribute to the body of knowledge and practice of leadership and to ultimately influence global leadership.

It is our intent that this publication receive wide distribution among individuals and organizations with a professional interest in leadership. it can be used as a resource in leadership development programs and classrooms."
