Summary:
"The book is composed of 68 short personal vignettes linked to current and past leadership experiences and visions for the future, written by individuals representing all aspects of fisheries and aquatic resource management. The vignettes are designed to inspire the next generation of fisheries leaders to lead at all levels of the fisheries profession. The essays are organized into five general themes, although most integrate several themes at once--leadership skills and tools, courage, vision, relationships and teamwork, and innovation. While many books have been written about leadership, this book is meant to provide insights on understanding what good leadership is and how people become good leaders in the fisheries profession. The book underscores the difficulties, successes, and common issues that fisheries professionals can expect to face relative to fisheries leadership."--Publisher's website.
