The most unselfish thing you can do is plant a walnut tree. When you plant a walnut tree you will not see the fruits of your labor within your lifetime, but you provide a lasting gift for future generations. In this gem of a book, the author recounts his personal quest for what lies beyond leadership, which Waldock calls eldership. Elders can provide independent leadership, wisdom and perspective and they hold leadership to account. Their wisdom may be needed to solve a problem, understand a dilemma, resolve a conflict or map a pathway through complex and unfamiliar territory. These leaders see the broader perspective, play the bigger game, take the longer-term view. With insight and advice for making sense of our lives and legacies, To Plant a Walnut Tree bridges the gaps between culture, age and education and inspires us to look and lead beyond ourselves.
