ABSTRACT
Leaders live in the gap between what should be and what is. That is where the work that most needs doing resides. On one side of the gap, our dreams, our aspirations our best hopes for each other and our communities call to us. The other side is the world as we know it: Beset with human frailty, strife and pent up hope. It is here amidst complex and competing forces that pull and yank on their time and beliefs that leaders do their work. It takes guts to set forth and endure life in this gap; there is no golden bullet or magic fix.1
