Steve and Tim, Thank you kindly for this recommendation. If it comes from both of you, it would have to be good. My copy is in the air now as we speak!!

I think the sections on embodied knowing are the most powerful part of the book, though there are also some fascinating insights into Piers' techniques and processes which, if you haven't had the pleasure of experiencing them at first hand, are hugely effective. In particular, look out for his description of image theatre. I wasn't so keen on his dismissal of the effectiveness of Forum Theatre, though!

Sent: 25 November 2008 15:58 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: The Illusion of Leadership Hi, I've just finished reading Piers Ibbotson's new book, "The Illusion of Leadership." I loved it and I think most AACORNers would as well. Piers writes eloquently about the difference between art and business and how the embodied knowing of the theatre can inform business leadership. Along the way he makes a delightful critique of modern business. Has anyone else read it, yet? - Steve Steven S.
