About the Author[...]

Larry Stout served as associate professor of psychology at the Stockholm School of Economics in Riga for nine years. While living in Latvia for sixteen years (beginning in 1991), he found himself in a unique position to experience and observe a nation in dramatic transition. Latvia was in essence a living laboratory exhibiting a strong need for leaders in all aspects of society.

Stout developed an innovative concept, the Ideal Leadership Model, which he used to teach undergraduate students as well as hundreds of government officials, even including members of the Latvian Parliament, and corporate managers in all stratas of business.

Excerpted from Time for a Change:
