New book by HBS thought leader Bill George — «True North Emerging Leader Edition»
Harvard professor and CEO of Medtronic Bill George and Millennial tech entrepreneur Zach Clayton presented a new book Emerging Leader Edition of True North in September. Mr. George and Clayton show emerging leaders how to lead with their hearts, not just their heads, with passion, compassion, and moral courage by being true to their values to reach their full potential as they take on great challenges and to lead their organizations authentically through never-ending crises. It consists of stories from successful leaders such as Microsoft’s Satya Nadella and Merck’s Ken Frazier to PepsiCo’s Indra Nooyi and General Motors’ Mary Barra.

The book offers concrete suggestions for:
• Becoming an authentic leader, equipped to lead inclusively with moral clarity through challenges and crises;
• Cultivating regular introspection to ground yourself with self-awareness, live your values, and use your unique strengths;
• Integrating all aspects of your life — including who you are at home, at work, and in the community;
• Understanding how Millennials are leading more effectively in today’s world;
• Being an inclusive leader prepared to take on fraught issues like stakeholder challenges, racial and sexual equality, and sexual misconduct;
• Knowing when and how leaders should speak out on today’s complex public issues
