Leadership by Design, by Richard N. Swett, FAIA, with Colleen M. Thornton (Greenway Communications/Östberg Library of Design Management, Atlanta, GA, 2005), is a book examining the history of civic leadership within the American and Danish architectural professions. Swett is an architect, and the former U.S. Ambassador to Denmark.
"Architecture is a vocation commonly held to be detached from the rough and tumble of political engagement. Richard Swett has successfully combined the two professions in his own life and in Leadership by Design: An Architecture of Trust argues for others to follow his example. The result is a remarkable story of how architects have contributed to the civic and political life of this nation and offers evocative ideas of how to expand their role in our public discourse. Every public official needs to read this book." — Senator Joseph Lieberman
