"Engaging the Head, Heart and Hands of a Volunteer"is a simple guide for leaders of volunteers to feed the passion of those who choose to serve. The book is rich with stories of volunteers, and leaders of volunteers, who share their triumphs and tragedies while serving a cause greater than themselves.
The book, written by Barry Altland, also details a number of specific practices a leader of volunteers may add to their daily repertoire to engage, sustain, and at times, redirect the passions of those who raise their hands
