Leadership Insight

The Leadership Insight journal is an invitation; an invitation to enter into the quiet and contemplation it takes to be wise. It is an invitation to find our true selves, and thus the essence of our best leadership. The names on the cover and in the journal are those of individual leaders from around the world. As we open the journal, we recognize that we are joining the global community of leaders who have made, and continue to make, a difference in the world. The image on the cover, a celebration entitled Exuberant Life, reflects the best of what we strive for as human beings and as leaders. Enter into the quiet and contemplation it takes to be wise. It is an invitation to find our true selves, and thus the essence of our best leadership.
"Leadership Insight is an amazing combination of wisdom and beauty! It will help executives reflect upon their leadership journey ? and become more effective as a result. I love Nancy Adler?s work. No one combines insight on leadership, deep wisdom about life and a sharing of beauty like she does! " -- Marshall Goldsmith, New York Times and million-copy best-selling author of MOJO and What Got You Here Won?t Get You There

"Nancy Adler's Leadership Insight is a magical work by an extraordinarily talented artist and highly respected scholar. It's a one-of-a-kind journal that draws you in and compels you to express yourself. The moment I opened the pages I felt calm and serene. Her paintings are beautiful and stunning, and her words are wise and inspirational. In this hurry-scurry world of always on, 24/7, instant connection, Leadership Insight offers us a necessary and welcome bit of quiet space for reflection and contemplation. We know that the most self-aware leaders make the best leaders, and recording in this journal is the perfect way to gain more insight into yourself, your relationships, and your world. I highly recommen
