Written by Korn Ferry CEO Gary Burnison, this book brings world-renown people and talent development expertise to bear in a discussion about 'good' versus 'great' leadership. Successful leadership at any level is about getting results, but how do the best of the best manage to consistently deliver bigger and better things? This book shares the 'secret sauce' of successful leadership, and provides an actionable framework for discovering—and developing—your own leadership skills and potential. Anyone can have the right hands-on skills, but true leadership finesse lies in the much tougher realm of developing self-awareness to lead yourself first ('Look in the Mirror'); navigating by a fixed point of personal and organizational purpose ('Embody Purpose'); journeying with others who want to follow you ('Don't Walk Alone'); and plotting a course that's beyond the line of sight of what everyone sees ('Navigate Beyond the Horizon'). By distilling the broad and complex topic of leadership into highly accessible points and discussions, \u003ci\u003eThe Leadership Journey\u003c\/i\u003e is perfect traveling companion for everyone along the leadership path. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEffective leaders help people do more—and become more—than even they ever thought possible.

Good leaders excel at the left-brain, technical side of leadership and know the frameworks,   theories, and decision-making models. As Burnison explains, what separates good from great leaders is the right-side brain of   leadership skills, the ability to inspire others. Grounded in the author's real-world experiences and drawing on advice from   noted leaders, \u003ci\u003eThe Leadership Journey\u003c\/i\u003e explores the four essential (and often overlooked) elements that combine to make   executives the kind of leaders their organizations need. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Leadership Journey\u003c\/i\u003e explores the four critical areas of being a great leader: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLook in the Mirror:\u003c\/b\u003e Develop the ability to lead yourself first by acknowledging your strengths and weaknesses.

But???they don't stop there. They are equally capable of using their right brain to empower others   to believe they will make it through that opening in the clouds. Importantly, these multidimensional leaders are also humble, acutely   self-aware, insatiably curious, always authentic, and quite courageous.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAdventurous leaders know the topography—the map of the leadership world and the human brain.
