Leadership, in business and in life, conforms to natural laws.
But reductionist explanations are not adequate. Notions such as Dawkins' "selfish gene" make visible only the mechanistic side of the equation.
Inspiration, like lightning, lasts less than an instant, like a signal from another realm, a reminder of the invisible that nevertheless can illuminate and clarify our sensible world.

"In
a tour de force of compression, Scher shows us how our
actions in our work lives are intimately connected with the larger
world we live in, and how natural laws apply to such seemingly
mundane activities as meetings and the daily decisions each of
us is called to make. The incorporation of Jane English's photographs
is nothing short of magical."
--Dan Gregerson, CEO, Mindfabric, Inc.
"Lightning
captures the essence of human nature and experience so succinctly
and brilliantly. As I read, I felt a deep recognition of truth,
enhanced and confirmed by the juxtaposition of photographs to
text in a way that is visually stunning and immensely satisfying.
The topic may seem to be 'business,' but the experience of reading
Lightning resonates with a deep understanding of man and
his world that is very inspirational -- a gift for the heart."
