Debutanten Linda Jones har skrivit en gripande berättelse om en tjej som väljer en egen väg i livet, men det är också en kärleksförklaring till fjället, skogen, djuren och de kristallklara sjöarna. "Bete sig är en roman om inre utveckling, naturens kraft och vikten av att finna sin egen väg. Det mesta sker inuti Stina varför tempot är tämligen lågt. Person- och miljöskildringarna är alldeles utmärkta, naturskildringarna ljuvliga och språket mycket njutbart." - Staffan Wennerlund, Bibliotekstjänst, häfte 22Stinas värld rämnar när hennes föräldrar berättar att de ska skilja sig. Alla runt henne säger att hon ska vara glad att det hände nu när hon är vuxen. Men hur ska hon kunna vara glad när föräldrarna inte går att känna igen? Hur ska hon kunna vara glad när hon tvingas flytta från barndomshemmet och ingenting är som förut? Kompisarna planerar för jobb och barn och Stina förväntas göra samma sak. Men istället lämnar hon allt. Hon packar en ryggsäck med kläder och mat och tar bussen till en enslig stuga, precis vid foten av fjället. Men hur klarar man av att sköta en stuga, utan el och rinnande vatten, när ens armar är tunna som pinnar och ens händer utan valkar? Hur överlever man på mat som måste tillagas över öppen eld när man levt ett liv på micrade polarbröd? Och hur överlever man helt utan kontakt med omvärlden när man är van vid ett konstant scrollande?

The book goes beyond theory to offer tools and suggestions for developing emerging leaders. Inspired by the pioneering work of leadership scholar Andre Delbecq, this book points towards an expanded model of leadership that incorporates an active inner life, and posits that such fully human models of leadership will be essential to meet the profound challenges of the 21st Century. Without presuming to provide definitive answers, the text explores central questions such as: What is the added value of spiritual maturity to leadership? Would the integration of mature spirituality with well-developed intellectual and emotional capacities produce more beneficial leadership outcomes for organizations and individuals? What would a spiritually and developmentally mature emerging leader look like in 10 to 20 years? How do we prepare emerging leaders for the challenges they may face; and how do we model spiritually and developmentally mature leadership in ways that resonate with them?Professor Andre Delbecq (1936-2016) of the University of Santa Clara created the heuristic of “spiritually and developmentally mature leaders” to encapsulate his observation that outstanding leaders often seemed to draw strength and wisdom from sources that are not typically studied or taught in leadership courses. Thirty scholars and practitioners accepted Delbecq’s heuristic as the starting point to explore spiritual components of leadership that do not easily lend themselves to quantification or clear causal links. The analysis of their disciplined engagement with the heuristic forms the foundation of an exploratory, fully human understanding of leadership. This analysis is supported by literature reviews, including an overview of Andre Delbecq’s relevant work. Ultimately, the authors call for further collaboration across disciplines and between research and practice to build on the conceptual constructs offered here, and, especially, to create pedagogies for the trainingof spiritually and developmentally mature leaders
