Book Synopsis:

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 an S&P 500 CEO is at an all-time low. When the pressure is on, how can CEOs reinvent themselves too, along with their organizations?

Leaders of many of the boldest and most storied organizations regularly turn to the world’s most prestigious management consulting firm McKinsey & Company not only for organizational clarity, but for their own learning, transformation and leadership challenges. The Journey of Leadership: How CEOs Learn to Lead from the Inside Out (Portfolio, September 10th, 2024) by McKinsey senior partners Hans-Werner Kaas, Dana Maor, Ramesh Srinivasan, and Kurt Strovink is the first ever look-behind-the-curtain at McKinsey’s step-by-step approach to transforming leaders both professionally and personally.

Revealing lessons from its legendary CEO leadership program “The Bower Forum,” which has counseled 500+ global CEOs over the past decade, as well as McKinsey’s global CEO counseling practice, The Journey of Leadership shares how leaders hone the psychological, emotional, and ultimately, the human attributes that result in success in today’s most demanding top job.
