Description

Ten years after his death, Edwin Friedman’s best-selling A Failure of Nerve continues to offer insights into leadership that are more urgently needed than ever, and this revised, anniversary edition is very important reading for all leaders, be they parents or presidents, corporate executives or educators, religious superiors or coaches, healers or generals, managers or clergy. Friedman was once the first to let us know that every one organizations have personalities, like families, and to apply the insights of Circle of relatives therapy to churches and synagogues, rectors and rabbis, politicians and teachers. His understandings about our regressed, “seatbelt society,” oriented toward safety moderately than adventure, lend a hand give an explanation for the sabotage that leaders repeatedly face today. Suspicious of the “quick fixes” and instant solutions that sweep through our culture only to give way to the next fad, he argued for strength and self-differentiation as the marks of true leadership. His formula for success is more maturity, not more data; stamina, not technique; and personal responsibility, not empathy A Failure of Nerve was once unfinished at the time of Friedman’s death and at first published in a limited edition. This new edition cleans up some oversights in the original and brings his life-changing insights and challenges to a new generation of readers.
Reading this book is like discovering an unpublished Beethoven sonata or a missing play of Shakespeare. Ed Friedman was once one of our most brilliant, original, and provocative thinkers across the fields of therapy, ministry, and organizational leadership. – Professor William J. Doherty, Director, Marriage and Circle of relatives Therapy Program, University of Minnesota
