Leadership is the act of guiding a team or individual to achieve a goal through direction and motivation -- and there is a leader in all of us. This issue contains insightful resources and pointers that touch on the various under-talked about but important aspects of leadership. I hope this inspires us to not just exercise good leadership in our daily lives as individuals and organisations, but more importantly, help us get through and thrive even in difficult times.

Build Your Reputation as a Trustworthy Leader

People’s expectations and definition of trustworthiness are broadening for leaders, and it takes a lot to gain that trust.

Adam Grant on leadership, emotional intelligence, and the value of thinking like a scientist

This conversation was part of a new discussion series for McKinsey partners and clients called "Modern Leadership," which is designed to explore new dimensions of leadership with experts and leading thinkers who can help strengthen, challenge, and stretch our ability to build resilient teams and thrive in uncertain times.
