The book's main message is that a leader must cultivate a healthy internal balance of six aspects: physical, emotional, intellectual, social, vocational, and spiritual. Rosen identifies these qualities as the roots of leadership and suggests that the leader possessing them can more easily withstand chaos. The core of the text discusses methods for developing sound foundations. The healthier the leader is, the stronger the organization will be as a whole. The book's final section expands on how developing these characteristics will influence a well-balanced person and contribute to a flourishing company. \u003cb\u003eVERDICT\u003c\/b\u003e Rosen draws from interviews and case studies to present a simple message to leaders: focus on improving yourself before you try to fix your company. While the conceit of the title is compelling, the concepts put forth may appear as unreachable ideals. This volume pulls together dissimilar leadership models and will appeal to business readers bored of training manuals. \u003cb\u003eRecommended\u003c\/b\u003e. —John Rodzvilla, Emerson Coll., Boston (\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e, October 2013)\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBOB ROSEN\u003c\/b\u003e is a trusted CEO advisor, organizational psychologist, and bestselling author.
