Overview

Your decisions are only as good as the world you can see. And in a rapidly shifting landscape, the most successful leaders learn to see more. Unfortunately, when leaders are overwhelmed by constant disruption, they're more likely to do the opposite. Talented leaders don't fail for lack of intelligence or experience. They fail because they make decisions based on a partial view of their environment and miss critical insights. Drawing on decades of experience coaching top executives through uncertainty and change, Cornelia Choe and Marshall Goldsmith introduce a timely antidote to perspective blindness--a new model for leadership that expands how we see, think, and decide. In The Panoramic Leader, you'll discover the mental map guiding your decisions, shaped by the lessons and patterns of your life and work. You'll learn to assess it for blind spots, outdated guideposts, and traps that distort your judgment. And through the powerful three-step GEM method--Get Up Close, Establish Meaningful Bonds, and Map Your Evolving Perspective--you'll learn how to tap different stakeholders for insights, inspire stronger followership, and create breakthrough results. Blending research, insight-generating tools, and illuminating stories from Fortune 500 CEOs and visionaries across industries, The Panoramic Leader is a powerful guide to expanding your vision and making better decisions. Whether you're a seasoned executive or a new manager, this book will transform how you approach challenges, relationships, and achieving your full leadership potential.
