Featuring exclusive lessons drawn from inside the business world, including from the CEOs of Accenture, Mubadala, Kering, Wells Fargo, and Box, this book teaches readers “Systems Leadership,” Siegel’s holistic framework helps leaders understand and handle five key cross-pressures:

​

• Priorities: The need to succeed at both execution and innovation

• People: The need to project both strength and empathy

• Sphere of influence: The need to focus both internally and externally

• Geography: The need to think both locally and globally

• Purpose: The need to pursue both ambition and statesmanship

​

Leaders will learn to do four things: 1) Operate at Intersections – master the dualities needed to navigate these cross-pressures, 2) Manage context – help your people make sense of the confusing set of facts that they are seeing in their jobs and lives, 3) Think like a Product Manager – understand customer needs, how products are built, and the go-to-market strategies of your company, and finally 4) Run towards business and technological disruptions.
