Looking forward to giving this one a read! Learn more below on the CEO perspectives our author team collected for a fresh look at the leadership journey.

Many of us are familiar with the research on what you need to do to succeed as a leader. But beyond the skills, capabilities, and practices, we find that truly effective leadership starts from within. In our new book, The Journey of Leadership, Hans-Werner Kaas, Kurt Strovink, Ramesh S., and I lay a foundation anchored in learnings from our extensive work with leaders. Our goal is to help executives become the leaders they were meant to be and propel their teams to new heights. Why now? Now, more than ever, leaders face a multitude of competing demands. To master the art of navigating those competing tensions, it’s essential to continuously learn to lead yourself first. You can then inspire your organization with the conviction needed to deliver on its purpose amid the complexity of today’s world. Whether you are in the C-suite, aspiring to be, or aspiring to be a leader in any organization, I hope this book becomes a valuable resource.

The Journey of Leadership Today’s CEOs operate in an increasingly high-risk environment, expected to tackle more complexity, and make bigger swings with no second chances. This has taken a toll: the average tenure of a CEO is at an all-time low. Confronted with this, leaders of many of the world’s boldest and most storied organizations regularly turn to McKinsey and its methods for reinvigorating and reinventing themselves and their organizations. This book is the first ever explanation of McKinsey’s step-by-step approach to transforming leaders both professionally and personally, including revealing lessons from its legendary CEO leadership program “The Bower Forum,” which has counseled 500+ global CEOs over the past decade. It is a journey that helps leaders hone the psychological, emotional, and ultimately, the human attributes that result in success in today’s most demanding top job. Packed with insightful and never-before-heard reflections from leaders you will learn how to: -Assess your personal leadership approach and style objectively. -Discover your true mandate as a leader. -Balance “right-brained” and “left-brained” leadership skills. -Develop creative, actionable ways to reinvigorate both yourself and your organization. -Create a personal commitment plan to inspire your team and cement your legacy. The Journey of Leadership is a great book from my partners Dana Maor, Hans-Werner Kaas, Kurt Strovink, and Ramesh S. Srinivasanan and an invaluable resource for anyone running or hoping to run an organization in today’s ever more complex world. #TheJourneyOfLeadershipBook

As many of you know, it has been an ongoing pursuit of mine to understand the hallmarks of exceptional leadership. After analyzing learnings and insights from McKinsey’s Bower Forum, our CEO leadership development program, and our wide-ranging work on leadership development, we have concluded that the best of the best embrace human-centric leadership. This starts with the inner mastery of one’s thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and practices.    In our forthcoming book, The Journey of Leadership: How CEOs learn to lead from the inside out, my coauthors Dana Maor, Kurt Strovink, Ramesh S., and I provide a step-by-step guide to help leaders reinvent themselves—personally and professionally—to then lead and inspire their teams and broader organizations more effectively. In a world of increasing uncertainty, change, and disruption, we believe such an approach is needed more than ever.   Our book reveals these learnings and shares fresh insights from 24 former and current CEOs representing Bower Forum faculty members or participants and other leaders who have embraced a human-centric leadership approach. These include leaders such as Mark Fields (formerly Ford, TPG), Ed Bastian (Delta Air Lines), John Plant (Howmet Aerospace, formerly TRW Automotive), Lynn L. Elsenhans (formerly Sunoco), Admiral Eric Olson (former Head of US Special Operations Command), Rob Painter (Trimble), Peter Kelly (OPENLANE), and Makoto Uchida (Nissan).    The Journey of Leadership will be available September 10.
