“Kucia and Gravett’s Leadership in Balance describes the shifting concepts of leadership that have given organizations the power to be more collaborative in the way they work, as well as in the ways they are learning to trust the creativity of their own people.

Unlike the typical treatise on leadership, Leadership in Balance: New Habits of the Mind provides a profound glimpse at the inner experiences of today’s successful leaders. The emphasis on ‘a deeper dimension’ of leadership is not only theoretically based, but also measurable, with both ample anecdotal and promising empirical support.
