Currently, leaders have a conceptional understanding of shared leadership but lack the tools to effectively guide their staffs in enacting the dynamic exchange of ideas and voice among all members of the organization to promote the development of a strategic plan focused on best outcomes.

"""Long and Pisani have made a major contribution to the understanding and practices of Shared Leadership. Their book provides a thorough and comprehensive analysis of the literature supporting shared leadership and the practical strategies involved in implementing this vision of organizational development. Their work will be a major resource to business, government and educational leaders who are interested in developing their organizations by redefining the roles and responsibilities of all stakeholders by giving them voice."" – Dr. Larry Aronstein, Superintendent of Schools (Retired), City of Glen Cove, NY Public Schools, USA. ""The Value of Voice in Shared Leadership provides a unique challenge to leaders and staff in school systems to examine the effectiveness of their current model of decision making. The focus on the power of collaboration among all stakeholders prior to implementing the decision-making process is a critical component when working toward positive organizational change in educational institutions."" – Dr. Jennifer Chapman, Ed.D, Organizational Change and Leadership, Assistant Principal, Prince William County Schools, USA. ""This book provides firsthand and eye-opening experiences at several different positions/levels from within today’s business and educational systems. It is a must read for all educators, businessmen and leaders everywhere!"" – Jeff Fiore, Technology Ambassador, Prince William County Schools, Liberty University, USA. Experienced business teachers and educators, the authors highlight the value of voice (VoV) in creating a unified organizational culture with a shared vision and leadership model. The VoV consists of a collaborative, reflective environment of shared beliefs created by a dynamic exchange of ideas and voices among all organization members. The authors show that, with VoV, leaders, employees, and stakeholders can better understand their roles and work together to address the challenges and concerns of an organization. The result is more robust outcomes and action plans and, ultimately, the growth and success of the organization. --CHOICE"
