Recommendation

For the first edition of True North, published in 2007, Harvard professor and former Medtronic CEO Bill George interviewed 125 leaders and shaped their stories and insights into an instant leadership classic. Fifteen years later, George joins forces with millennial founder Zach Clayton, CEO of Three Ships, to revisit and expand the book. The emerging leader edition includes material from 48 new interviews and offers case studies of global leaders such as Mary Barra, Kabir Barday, Satya Nadella, Tracy Britt Cool and many more. George and Clayton speak directly to emerging leaders, advocating for a humanistic style of humble servant leadership that exalts ethical principles and purpose.

Take-Aways

  • To prepare for leadership, get to know yourself deeply, including your reasons for wanting to lead.
  • Develop self-awareness through reflection, especially on the challenges and temptations you’ve faced.
  • Find and follow your own “North Star”: your purpose for being a leader.
