Mehr zum Buch

What enables some talented individuals to reach their full potential while others fall short? In 2008, Joanna Barsh initiated the Centered Leadership Project at McKinsey and Company to explore this question. The project identified what sets apart successful leaders from those who achieve true greatness, coining the term Centered Leadership. In a previous bestseller, Barsh outlined its five capabilities and the research behind them. Now, alongside Johanne Lavoie, she presents a practical field guide for implementation. Since the project's inception, Barsh, Lavoie, and their McKinsey colleagues have conducted seminars and workshops worldwide, empowering individuals to develop these capabilities. This guide offers interactive tools, exercises, and practices that have enabled participants to cultivate the skills, courage, and confidence necessary to unleash their potential and that of others. Readers will find inspiring stories of leaders who exemplify these skills in action. Early-career professionals will learn to harness these abilities to explore their passions, while those with families can address work-life balance. Even established leaders will discover practices to reach new heights in their careers. Regardless of your current stage or leadership aspirations, this resource will equip you to unlock your own Centered Leader and create a positive impact both at work and beyond.
