BusinessWeek:

In a recent book, Apples Are Square (Kaplan Publishing; July, 2007), the “control and compete” approach of many entrepreneurs is replaced by a softer set of leadership qualities: service, humility, compassion, transparency, and inclusiveness, among other traits.

Authors Susan Smith Kuczmarski and Thomas D. Kuczmarski gain credibility by virtue of having interviewed leaders ranging from entrepreneur Craig Newmark of Craigslist to Chicago dance center founder Joel Hall to bandleader Susan Anton.

The book makes an effective case for risk-taking within a framework of humanity.
