This book provides many challenging and compelling ideas and examples. Review 'In Beyond Authority, Julia Middleton offers a refreshing and original perspective on leadership. She shows us how to implement our dreams and overcome obstacles - including the obstacle that no one asked us to do it in the first place. This is the right book for bureaucracy-bashers and social entrepreneurs who want to change the world.' - Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Harvard Business School Professor and author of Confidence: How Winning Streaks and Losing Streaks Begin and End --Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Harvard Business School Professor 'What you will learn from this book is worth more than money.
