Leadership Transition
Author: Michael Stanford
Format: Paperback
What if the secret to powerful leadership lies in mastering what is inside of us rather than what is outside of us?
What if inner work – work on understanding what makes our lives meaningful, on identifying our most important beliefs and nurturing our most important relationships, on understanding our deepest sources of power and energy – is just as relevant to being a good leader as it is to leading a good life?
If leadership is the task of creating sense out of chaos, today’s leaders have plenty to take on. Chaos is everywhere. Sometimes it’s manageable. Sometimes it overwhelms our ability to create or to cope.
This groundbreaking book explains how we can use chaos as fuel for growth. Integrating clinical insights with personal stories and case examples gathered over three decades as a leadership practitioner, researcher, consultant and coach, Michael Stanford helps leaders understand why we react the way we do when the challenges around us feel too heavy to bear.
Leadership Transition shows us how to shape the chaos outside of us by first taking care of the chaos inside of us. It is necessary reading for any leader taking on the challenge of making their worlds better, no matter how unpredictable or disuptive their environment might be.
