A compelling story that provides leaders with a practical framework to deepen their understanding of effective leadership and strengthen their company's organizational health

Picking up the story of CEO David Slater--now twenty years further into his leadership journey--Brown reveals the real-world challenges of leading through complexity and change.

It illustrates that a sustainable, high-performing organization is possible, and it begins with the evolution of leadership.

Alongside David, readers discover practical ways to apply the Ascent Model, four essential indicators of a healthy organization that Brown's firm developed over three decades of advising boards and executive teams:
