<P><br>Today's leaders need more "fire" to take society into the 21st Century, says Tom Brown, author of The Anatomy Of Fire. After studying the ideal of leadership developed over hundreds of years, Brown concludes, "Leadership is not about creating and extracting wealth for the benefit of the few. Nor is it about the raw exercise of power. It's about the discovery of new and better ideas for improving life for all. Generating widespread enthusiasm for better ways, finding the resources to turn them into reality, and being resilient in the face of setbacks are the qualities of tomorrow's leaders. Most importantly, making a contribution to society -- improving the human condition -- will be what separates leaders from mere placeholders in the future." Jim Collins, co-author of Built To Last and author of Good To Great, wrote in the Foreword to this book: "Tom argues that true leaders in any discipline choose exploration over exploitation, rallying over ruling, imagination over inventory, achievement over compliance, and giving over taking. In this work, Tom displays all five choices." This is the updated, Millennium edition and is now offered as a collection of e-Docs by BrownHerron Publishing, with permission, and sold exclusively on Amazon.com.</P>

<P><br>Review:</P>
<P>AOF "fires up" student interest in leadership</P>
<P>Tom Brown's "Anatomy of Fire" is a provocative resource for anyone looking for ways to understand or discuss leadership, as applicable to classrooms (where I use the book) as it is for boardrooms. Though any book should be read as a whole to understand the author's full intent, Brown has managed to create a series of readable chaplets that can stand alone, allowing for focused discussion and emphasis. His ideas about civic, organizational, and political leadership, and particularly his discussion of placeholders versus true leaders, are sure to excite readers generally and students specifically in ways not commonly found in most leadership books or texts. Equally important is the passion that Brown exudes for his topic. This is not a cold, distant, academic treatise. It is a statement of belief from a true entrepreneur and leader in his own right. Brown writes from his heart, encouraging the reader to agree or disagree, challenge or apply, use or discard, but never ignore. I am one of a number of educators who have used the book in classes and have seen the ways that students respond. Brown's positions on leadership are not the standard positions students have come to expect, and they appreciate that fact. The book helps them develop their own ideas and insights, often by challenging conventional wisdom, and thereby helps them learn. I know the book well, I have seen it work, and I recommend it highly, particularly for teachers trying to help their students understand the complicated nature of genuine leadership.</P>
