McKinsey, the world's number one management consultancy firm, in their first book on leadership across organisations reveal for the first time how to truly move the needle and increase the leadership effectiveness of a large-scale business or body.
Return on Ambition is an insightful and practical guide for anyone who wants to reach and sustain success and fulfilment. More than 50% of ambitious people struggle with balancing their achievement, growth, and well-being. And 4 out of 10 doubt whether their efforts are worth it. However, it doesn't have to be this way. Best-selling authors Nielsen and Tillisch have studied high performing and successful, ambitious people for more than 5 years and found common patterns of behavior and thought. They have first-hand experience from some of the most ambitious environments in the world, having worked at McKinsey & Company and with over 30 Fortune 500 companies. Return on Ambition reveals their insights and includes tips and lessons learned from Elon Musk, Arianna Huffington, Pharrell Williams, and Axel Hedfors, among others. The methodology outlined in this book can help you reach and sustain higher degrees of success and fulfillment, and can be applied regardless of your ambition, professional focus, or age. -- Provided by publisher
