About This Book
When the pressure is on, the world's most powerful CEOs quietly call McKinsey—and this is what they're told.
Dana Maor, Hans-Werner Kaas and Kurt Strovink pull back the curtain on McKinsey & Company's approach to transforming executives at the highest level. The Journey of Leadership is the first public account of The Bower Forum, McKinsey's legendary leadership program that has counseled more than five hundred global CEOs over the past decade. Drawing on candid reflections from leaders including Ed Bastian of Delta Air Lines, Stéphane Bancel of Moderna and Mark Fields of Ford, the book maps a rigorous path for developing the psychological, emotional and human qualities that define leadership at its most demanding.
This isn't theory handed down from a lecture hall—it's the actual methodology used in the room with the world's top executives. For leaders who want to reassess their approach, discover their true mandate and build a legacy worth cementing, few resources carry this kind of institutional weight.
