In a modern-day adventure similar to the ancient Lakota vision-quest rite, this CEO of one of America's oldest companies contemplates a new leadership model for the modern age. In 2010, at the peak of the national housing and mortgage market collapse the author and lumber company executive acquired a rare voice disorder that forced him to stop, listen, and look inward.

Kevin then took off on a series of solo trips to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in a remote corner of South Dakota, returning with a fresh perspective on leadership, built on restraint. He went to work, creating a new organizational paradigm designed to push power away from the center and distribute leadership broadly. His goal: to create work teams and human communities where EVERYBODY LEADS and where every voice feels respected, trusted, responsible and heard. This book tells his remarkable story, providing wisdom and insight into how each one of us can become a leader that strengthens the voices of others.
