Last year, my colleague Beth Estock pointed me to a Richard Rohr piece about Edge-walkers. This prompted me to go searching the use of the term, and to discover a 2006 book entitled Edgewalkers by Judi Neal. The reason for our fascination with the term: we both have become convinced that there is a new breed of leaders, who are especially helpful in this era, who walk with one foot in the established institutions but with another foot into the world beyond. These characters become bridge builders, prophets, instruments of renewal and more.
