"As business adapts its paradigm to accomodate a changing workforce, books like this will help managers find their way." -BizEd magazine, From Publishers Weekly It might take more than walking 100 miles to discover the essence of leadership, but that's how far Sander A. Flaum, a 65-year-old "corporate lifer," and his son, Jonathon, a 35-year-old philosopher/playwright/businessman walked while discovering "the 9 P's of leadership" (people, purpose, passion, performance, persistence, perspective, paranoia, principles and practice) and, along the way, each other. The book's claim to novelty is the difference between Sander's and Jon's respective generations' approaches to business: Jon quotes Zen koans like "There are no rational answers to certain questions. Certain questions demand 'body and mind' answers-that is, the student does not 'know' the answer, but rather becomes it," While Sander quotes Benjamin Franklin or Calvin Coolidge. ("Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.") In the end, old and new converge in a mutual recognition of universal truth. It's the kind of lukewarm emotion that flourishes in books, but quickly dissipates in the chill of actual business life. This syrupy blend of father and son self-discovery and management maxims offers vague leadership principles and inspiring business stories, but the reader may come away thinking the authors confused a good idea for a family reunion with a good idea for a business book.

Synopsis
Each generation leads in its own way. But to progress together, they must find ways to bridge the divide between their perspectives. Recognizing that truth, a 65-year-old traditional CEO and his 35-year-old Zen entrepreneur son embark on a six-month-long, 100-mile walk. As they stroll the streets of New York and New Orleans, trek through the Blue Ridge Mountains, and hike along the Long Island coast, they talk about their experiences, their outlook on life and work, the achievements of leaders they have known, and how each views the nature and purpose of leadership. Ultimately, the two men agree on nine key traits and practices essential to all leaders - from principles and passion to performance and even paranoia - and on how leaders and aspiring leaders can follow them consistently. Father and son also discover a lot about each other, their relationship,and the way two generations set apart by so many differences can respect and learn from each other., Each generation leads in its own way.
