N2  - "In Leadership Can Be Taught, Sharon Daloz Parks invites readers to step into the classroom of Harvard leadership virtuoso Ronald Heifetz and his colleagues to experience a dynamic type of leadership and a corresponding mode of learning called "case-in-point." This unique approach utilizes students' own experiences - and the classroom environment itself - as a "studio-laboratory" for working through the types of challenges people actually face in today's workplace. In this setting, failures become active experiments not just in learning, but in living leadership."--BOOK JACKET
