Book Description
Leadership to Save Canada tells why Paul Martin is ill-equipped to become Prime Minister of Canada in light of his record as a Chrétien cabinet minister and evidence now emerging that he lacks appropriate strategic policy priorities. This book further contends that the government of Canada and its institutions, as now constituted, are increasingly dysfunctional and unable to provide the leadership we require to respond to twenty-first century change. Our government system has failed and the myopic and corrupt partisanship now practiced will diminish future Canadian quality of life. In the modern security and health-threat environment, government incompetence will be a threat to life itself. Canada's faltering economic productivity and the lack of government focus on productivity as a strategic imperative is portrayed as being the key failure in achieving the levels of economic success required to restore our health care, education, military forces and other areas to levels of satisfactory performance. The recommendations which have been put forward by politicians and political scientists for an elected Senate and improved representativeness in the House of Commons are portrayed as changes which should have been achieved a century ago and are completely inadequate by themselves as a response to twenty first century change. The challenge of twenty first century change is extensively described in the book. The book recommends a comprehensive program of institutional reform to change the Canadian Senate to a Senior Leadership Council. This Council will have the power to dismiss senior government officials including the Prime Minister. The Council will also be available to give mature and competent advice to all government departments and agencies, whether they be federal, provincial or municipal. Paul Martin has embraced the need to change the way the Canadian federal government does things, but until he demonstrates an improved capability to seize and implement effective strategic priorities to get Canada producing up to its capability, his ability to achieve useful change will be very limited because of lack of resources. Under these conditions, Canada's ability to achieve reasonable objectives under Martin will be only marginally better than the completely unsatisfactory results realized under Chrétien.

Book Description
Praise for Made in Canada Leadership "As an energy delivery company that takes great pride in our commitment to sustainable development, Enbridge recognizes that the leading, sustainable corporations of tomorrow must create an internal culture where leadership is fostered and nurtured at all levels. Made in Canada Leadership provides the roadmap for corporations seeking to secure their long-term future as industry leaders through the development and empowerment of any great company's strength—its people." —Patrick D. Daniel, President & CEO, Enbridge Inc. "Made in Canada Leadership makes a compelling case for a strategic and concerted approach to individual and collective leadership development to build our country’s leadership. If we want the right supply of leaders, we need to develop leadership in all sectors and at all levels. It is a long-term commitment and a collaborative endeavour. 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

Book Description
Annotation "In this fifth volume of the Canada Strong and Free series, Mike Harris and Preston Manning call for Canada to reclaim its leadership role in the international arena. They focus on three foreign policy priorities which would enable Canada to significantly advance its national interests and international influence across a broad front." "Freer international trade offers the most effective means of increasing Canadian prosperity and sustaining essential social services." "Harris and Manning propose a Canada-US Customs Union involving a common external tariff, a joint approach to the treatment of third-country goods, a fully integrated energy market, a common approach to trade remedies and border security, and an integrated government procurement regime." "Harris and Manning recommend the adoption of the Tools of Wealth Creation approach to attacking poverty - focusing not on the redistribution of wealth but on a broader distribution of tools for creating wealth such as property rights, access to capital, human capital development, access to technology, and access to trade markets. They also propose greater use of public-private partnerships for infrastructure and vaccine development, reforming CIDA, completely untying food aid from any requirements that it be provided from Canadian sources, and the new paradigm of providing aid and peacekeeping simultaneously in conflict and post-conflict situations."--Jacket.

Book Description
Doreen Cato told me she was exploring the role of childhood trauma on leadership, and shared the story about her grandmother, who in 1932 was cruelly institutionalized for 32 years. Her grandmother was sane when committed, simply for imitating a man to work in a factory to feed her five children. I knew it was trust allowing me to see beneath the surface of a very introspective and brave person. Reading Dr. Cato's manuscript as she prepared it for publication was, in some ways, a great relief. In presenting one painful episode after another, it was heartbreaking, but it was also genuine, insightful, hopeful, and inspiring - because it made clear how healing paths can be found in the midst of great suffering and despair. Leaders and survivors of childhood trauma will come to understand, appreciate, and rely on strengths nurturing their capacity for hope and strength in others. This is a very helpful perspective on both trauma and leadership, and it is something that Dr. Cato understands very well. Nancy E. Gill, Ph.
