Now, Peter Legge, President and Publisher of Canada Wide Media Limited, has published the Canadian edition of Robert Watson’s book. I’ve not had a chance to read this new edition, but have read the American version and recommemd it. It is not a how-to on leadership, but rather give insight into the things the Army does that makes it so effective.

The Salvation Army in Canada website has posted a Podcast of an interview with Peter Legge where he talks about he talks about his involvement with the Army and the book.
