The Arch and the Path: The Life of Leading Greatly (Sandia Heights Media) is not your usual book on leadership. It depicts the arduous and joyful path leaders must take if they are to guide their organizations to success. Great and creative leaders of successful organizations, insists author Shenkman, open peoples' lives to more expansive and encompassing possibilities.

"Creative leading" is a journey of the mind, heart and spirit that is like no other, requiring a commitment that brings with it special demands. As such it is not a commitment everyone will make. But once made, if leaders are to sustain their efforts in their chosen role, learning the disciplines and practices of the life of leading is essential.

As a mentor to leaders of successful organizations of all types, Michael Shenkman has guided many aspiring executives down the path to a life of leading greatly. His new book summarizes and crystallizes the experiences those executives have had in becoming great leaders.

According to Charles E. Hoffman, CEO and President of Covad Communications, "this book is essential reading" for leaders who aspire not only to success but to affecting their "followists'" lives in important and meaningful ways.
