For the first time, a top leadership scholar and a top leadership practitioner explore the true duties, demands, and privileges of leadership.

Together, they explore why:

  • A mature leader must grasp when it’s healthy to risk failure, and when failure can’t be tolerated at any cost
  • Leadership isn’t for everyone and requires a particular set of skills and competencies that are often glossed over in most management literature
  • To succeed in an uncertain and fast-changing world, a shrewd leader must understand which aspects of human society change—and which aspects never change
  • A mature, wise leader must seek a balance between high-minded ideals and the gritty realities and compromises that leaders face in their daily lives
  • Above all, meaningful leadership remains a matter of character

In so doing, it demonstrates and helps cultivate the leadership skills that you need to create your own most meaningful legacy.

The Art and Adventure of Leadership is a unique look at lead­ership, and a critical resource for the leaders of tomorrow. Show Less
