We all desire grace, but both receiving and giving grace can be a little more complicated. Huizing and authors pulls a beautiful picture of grace under the lens of leadership. One might ask how something could be so available and yet undefined and unembraced—and yet this text solidifies the value of grace for all leaders with detailing what it is, to whom it should belong, and how to develop it in leadership. As the beauty of grace unfolds, let us all reach for it and give it. –Kathleen Patterson, Professor, Regent University, USA.

Drawing upon both Jewish and Christian scriptures, this book lays a groundwork for understanding how grace is a critical element of leadership and followership studies. This volume, divided into three sections, begins by defining the concept of grace leadership, using biblical examples. Part two discusses how grace leadership develops while the last part of the book offers contemporary examples of leaders displaying grace to their employees. With cases from the military as well as organizational perspectives, this edited collection adds a new wrinkle to the leadership literature and will appeal to scholars in HRM and organizational studies.
