The Complete Business Leader: A Framework for Impact in Work and Life

Now in a revised and updated second edition, with a new chapter on leading in the age of AI.

Organizations of any size and focus will have bigger impact and be more successful by any measure when their leaders are well rounded and grounded, can integrate across disciplines, and can inspire diverse followers to produce results. Organizations need Complete Business Leaders, those who have mastered the dimensions needed to be successful in work and life.

Developed by global business executive Chris LeGrand, The Complete Business Leader lays out a framework with seven essential dimensions needed to deliver results. Honed through Chris’s own journey, the framework reflects his lifelong study of leadership and passion for impact in work and life.

New in the second edition:

• A whole new chapter on how AI is reshaping leaders and leadership, and what remains uniquely human about leadership
• Lessons from Chris’s most recent CEO role leading a global healthcare consulting and technology firm through a pandemic and major market upheavals, and into the age of AI
• A new preface and updates throughout

Chris’s authenticity, his commitment to making a difference, his successes and failures, and his drive for continued growth and learning come out in the real-world stories he uses to bring each of the seven dimensions to life. Chris’s colleague Liz Mallas Law contributes a chapter showing how the framework was put into practice and tested in the real world.

There is value in the Complete Business Leader framework whether you are a twenty-three-year-old starting a career, a mid-career leader, an entrepreneur, or a senior executive in a large business, and whether your organization is a large or small business, a nonprofit, or even a church.
