Love, Hope and Leadership

Leadership is inspiring others to believe — and enabling that belief to become reality

In Love, Hope & Leadership: A Special Edition, bestselling author Gary Burnison, CEO of Korn Ferry, offers an inspiring collection of reflections, perspectives, and pivot points that capture the moment and define how we live and lead today.

Through stories and beautiful imagery, with the look and feel of a coffee table book, Love, Hope & Leadership illustrates today’s dynamic environment – while offering leadership advice for executives and professionals to consider.

The book explores the attributes of what makes leadership not only personal, but also Special:
Selflessness – knowing that improving an organization starts by improving ourselves Potential – helping others exceed more than what they thought possible Empathy – meeting others where they are to embrace who they are Connection – adopting a horizontal mindset across communities and even society Inclusion – creating a sense of belonging by consciously including everyone Authenticity – ensuring others trust what we say, so they can believe in what we do Love – leading with our hearts as we seek to understand

As the book chronicles:

Leadership is never about the what and the how – it’s always about the who. We are all in the people business.

What it takes to lead others is often found in the intangibles – the unseen that has just as much value as what is seen.

Without love for other people, we cannot have love for what we do. Purpose and people are always inextricably intertwined.

This is the realization that changes everything: it starts with you, but it’s not about you.

Timely and thought-provoking, Love, Hope & Leadership will speak to managers, executives, entrepreneurs, and other leaders, with the reminder that hope and humanity are not luxuries, but necessities for leading in today’s world.
