Today’s CEOs operate in an increasingly high-risk environment, and this has taken a toll: the average tenure of an S&P 500 CEO is at an all-time low. When the pressure is on, how can leaders reinvent themselves too, along with their organizations? McKinsey’s Dana Maor, Kurt Strovink, Ramesh Srinivasan, and senior partner emeritus Hans-Werner Kaas say that CEOs are not reflecting enough—at a deep psychological level—about how to become more human-centric leaders able to connect authentically with themselves and their teams.
That core insight is what led to The Journey of Leadership: How CEOs Learn to Lead from the Inside Out (Portfolio)—available today. Order the book, and check out these insights for more on human leadership.
