"Max De Pree, author of Leading Without Power: Finding Hope in Serving Community, was the CEO of Herman Miller, the office furniture company, and had written two books before this one. This one explores an interesting anomaly in American culture: The fact that the nation with the most vibrant business sector on the planet also has a thriving non-profit sector, and it is that sector that provides most of the satisfaction individuals derive from their lifetime pursuits."
