<p>Authentic Leadership is the skill most needed in the majority of boards of directors of nonprofit organizations, trade associations, religious organizations, and churches, school boards, and other organizations where board members serve in a non-paid position. The Courage to Lead is a hands on, practical leadership guide for thousands of dedicated individuals who have been selected, elected, or have otherwise volunteered their time to serve on a non-corporate board of directors. As this guide is being written, Americans are waiting for the next shoe to drop on what has been a time of corporate, governmental, nonprofit, and religious scandals. These events have revealed incredible lapses of judgment, leadership at its worst, and even criminal behavior in several respected institutions. Constituents, members, and donors expect their leaders to be accountable. To be selected or elected to a board of directors is a high honor. As "trustees," the board is both servant to and leader of the membership, community, or constituency. While Boards must collectively work together to achieve organizational goals and objectives, it is the individual member's responsibility to continually increase his or her personal leadership capacity. It is the author's intent to provide those who have unselfishly donated their time to causes they believe in with ideas and principles that can help them become more effective servant leaders.</p>

<p>"This book is about the authors (my) life including my ancestors who came into Colonial America from Northern Ireland in 1746. This book is also about me growing up on the farm. My educational journey started in a two-room country school where the eighth grade included four girls and me. My educational journey continued through high school, University undergraduate and graduate school where the high light of my learning was the spookiness of quantum physics. My goal began to be realized when I started doing and leading biomedical research activity in 1974 and then after 30 plus years of research and over 200 peer reviewed research papers I was awarded the Discovery Research Metal from the research society I helped found several years earlier"--</p>
