Why now
The next era of leadership will be more human.
The old operating system for high-performance leadership is producing burnout, attrition, and quiet disengagement. A different model is required — and possible.
The signals
Leadership burnout
Executive loneliness
Retention of senior women
Changing definitions of success
Mental and emotional strain
The cost of chronic overfunctioning
Women carrying professional and domestic responsibility
Declining trust in institutions
Increasing demand for meaning
Changing workplace expectations
The need for emotionally intelligent leadership
The limits of performance-only leadership development
The growing desire for integrated lives
You can be powerful without being perpetually hardened.
