April 16, 2010 - PRLog -- Professional practice leadership for the 21st century — this is Lou Marines’ passion and his expertise. In his new book, The Language of Leadership, Marines brings to bear years of experience working with architecture, engineering, and construction firm leaders as he helps them better serve their organizations, their professions, and their society. He shares his wisdom candidly and with compassion through a series of insightful essays.

We have a shared responsibility to make the vision reality. I’m confident that we will find the way together.”

In The Language of Leadership, Marines explores what leaders need to be and do, how future leaders can be grown, and methods for architecture, engineering, and construction professionals to express their passions and callings in service to society.
