How CEOs learn to lead from the inside out

Humility, resilience, and empathy are critical ingredients for successful leadership. Embracing a human-centered approach to leadership—one that prioritizes the needs and well-being of employees fosters inspiration and gives them a sense of purpose—is now more important than ever. But to effectively propel teams and organizations to new heights, leaders must first embark on an inward-facing journey.

In McKinsey’s forthcoming book, The Journey of Leadership, McKinsey partners explore cultivating the psychological, emotional, and human attributes that are the cornerstones of successful leadership.

Join co-authors Dana Maor and Kurt Strovink on Tuesday, September 10 at 12:00 p.m. EDT / 6:00 p.m. CET as they discuss the qualities that redefine leadership and practical strategies from top CEOs.
