When the pressure is on, many of the world's top CEOs turn to McKinsey & Company to reinvent themselves and their organizations. The Journey of Leadership brings the experience of one of the world's most influential consulting firms right to your fingertips.

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 more than five hundred global CEOs over the past decade. It is a journey that helps leaders hone the psychological, emotional, and, ultimately, human attributes that result in success in today's most demanding top job.

Packed with insightful and never-before-heard reflections from leaders, including Ed Bastian (CEO of Delta Air Lines), Makoto Uchida (CEO of Nissan Motor Corporation), Mark Fields (former CEO of Ford Motor Company), Reeta Roy (CEO of Mastercard Foundation), and St?phane Bancel (CEO of Moderna), you will learn how to:

• Assess your personal leadership approach and style objectively.
• Discover your true mandate as a leader.
• 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 an invaluable resource for anyone running or hoping to run an organization in today's ever-more-complex world.
