領導他人，最難的是向內修煉！麥肯錫最高規格的閉門頂尖領導人論壇首度公開在壓力下的覺察、反思、轉型的領導心法本書的洞見源自於麥肯錫最頂級、完全邀請制的領導力學程「鮑爾論壇」（The Bower Forum）。過去十年，全球超過五百位跨產業與文化的執行長深度參與。在高度坦誠的同儕交流中，他們不談理論，而是直面內心深層的困惑與自我懷疑，以及在真實決策現場的掙扎、盲點與失敗。面對風險、期望與人性，沒有絕對的正確答案，更需要自我覺察，強化心理素質。本書四位作者皆為麥肯錫全球資深董事合夥人，也是鮑爾論壇核心主持者。他們發現：許多表現出色的人，財務敏銳、策略清晰、執行力強，卻在邁向下一個領導階段時碰到瓶頸，難以激勵團隊，也無法將願景轉化為真實績效。問題的核心，往往不是能力或制度，而是領導者受限於過去成功經驗所形塑的內在預設與防禦模式，尚未與自己更深層的內在建立連結，也更難與團隊建立真正的連結。領導，是持續的內在對話與抉擇，在自信與謙遜、勇氣與好奇、韌性與關懷之間，取得細緻的平衡。未來十年，能引領公司在不確定中前行的，將是那些不只擁有清晰戰略，更具人性洞察力的領導者。本書作者首次將麥肯錫累積多年的關鍵洞察，系統整理為十二項領導心法，協助你翻轉內在慣性、激勵團隊、帶領組織在變局中前進。• 真正相信自己值得坐在這個位置，決策的品質會徹底不同 • 永遠把組織放在自尊之前，不用急於證明自己 • 只做非你不可的事，其餘果斷放手，控制只是一種幻覺 • 覺察自己的預設反應與情緒觸發點，有意識改變互動，才能贏得信任 • 建立「真話圈」，掌握真實狀況，不被同溫層與好消息包圍 • 保持高度學習與探索，同時在關鍵時刻堅定立場• 冒深思熟慮的風險，因為機會往往藏在可承受的失敗之中從內在領導，不只是成長練習，而是通往高績效的最直接途徑。
