"Today's leaders face an unprecedented array of challenges -- from geopolitical shocks and AI disruption to workforce burnout and eroding employer-employee trust -- that demand far more than traditional leadership qualities like intellect, vision, and charisma. Success now requires emotional, temperamental, and even spiritual fortitude, alongside humility and a genuine desire for personal growth. Yet many leaders aren't just feeling overwhelmed; they're longing for something more meaningful, fulfilling, and aligned with their deeper sense of purpose. Most leadership development approaches fail to address this, neglecting the critical integration of purpose, identity, and action. The answer, the authors argue, lies in becoming a wholehearted leader -- one whose inner values, sense of self, and outward behavior are in harmony -- enabling them to lead with clarity and conviction, build trust, navigate hard conversations, and bring their whole selves to the role."-- Provided by publisher.
