An advanced guide to leadership development and intentional evolution—your own or others
The leaders we need to solve our complex, unprecedented problems can only be developed in the workplace, and they require personal transformation, not just some new leadership skills. The second edition of Jennifer Garvey Berger's influential Changing on the Job explains the advanced perspective, maturity, and personal evolution leaders need to make a powerful difference in their organizations and in the world. The book offers practical tools and deep insights based on adult development theory to help leaders turn their greatest challenges into growth and personal transformation. Berger explains the four predictable stages of leadership maturity and wisdom, and how to accelerate growth toward the third and fourth stages. Whether you're a seasoned leader or an emerging coach, Changing on the Job is a roadmap to cultivating courageous, wise, and steady leadership in an uncertain world.
"In this moment of pervasive, swirling change, we desperately need leaders who have the courage to embrace uncertainty, who welcome complexity, and who seek out perspectives that challenge their own. Jennifer Garvey Berger has given us a master class in how to cultivate these capacities in ourselves and accompany others on their journeys. Changing on the Job is an essential guide for leaders in this complex world."
