I am personally committed to rise to the challenge and engage in the leadership development movement and I hope others will join us in this quest for leadership." —Denise Amyot, Vice-President, Leadership Network, Public Service Human Resources Management Agency of Canada "Developing elite athletes who can win at the international level demands more than time, effort, resources, money and raw talent. It requires support systems that are effective and strategic and the mentoring of coaches who understand how to maximize not only the athletes’ physical potential but also their mental preparation. A similar case can be made for leader development. Made in Canada Leadership looks at what is needed to transform our leadership development efforts from amateur to major league. A must read!" —Chris Rudge, CEO and Secretary General, Canadian Olympic Committee "In our global world, human assets increasingly constitute the competitive advantage; and to succeed, quality leadership is required. However, leadership development is not a casual undertaking, but a long term investment and a shared responsibility. Nurturing future leaders offers significant ROI for all concerned: high returns for the organization and fulfilled leaders. Made in Canada Leadership provides an essential guide to the secrets of growing leaders from a strategic and Canadian perspective." —Paul Juniper, Director, Industrial Relations Centre, Queen’s University
