Trusted advice for effective leadership
January 15, 2025“When the map differs from the terrain, you’ve got to go with the terrain.”
That’s sound advice on navigating a successful path along the leadership journey from Eric T. Olson, a retired U.S. Navy admiral. Olson is one of the contributors to McKinsey’s latest book, The Journey of Leadership.
The Journey of Leadership brings together insights into the personal and professional transformations that can make leaders successful. Drawing on learnings from a decade of Bower Forum events—McKinsey’s CEO leadership program—it has been written to catch attention in a sea of leadership books by sharing the individual experiences of CEOs.
Olson recently joined Mark Fields, formerly of Ford Motor Company, and Hans-Werner Kaas, senior partner emeritus of McKinsey and book co-author, to share leadership stories—including some that aren’t featured in the book.
