Leadertrip Log: Inspiration and Exploration for Current and Future Leaders

Does leading sometimes feel inauthentic like playing a role? Are you tired of position wrangling and the energy that goes into finding faults while the big issues remain untackled? Maybe you’re longing for a more meaningful way to engage with the people around you — for more togetherness, impact, progress, humanity, and joy? If that’s your situation right now, it’s time to embark on a Leadertrip guided by stories from other leaders. Let your mind wander, follow the writing prompts that invite you to reflect, dig deeper, and become bolder in defining your own way to lead. Along the way you’ll use the Leadertrip Log to capture your hopes, ambitions, feelings, challenges, and actions as a leader. Simple and clear principles for shaping meaningful work complement the exploration and show paths toward a leadership practice that is more lively and fun. This version is identical to the Leadertrip Log published in December 2021 - but it corrects the wrong spelling of the author's name in the metadata of the book.
