Every leadership journey has moments when the path forward suddenly feels unclear. When it happens, your sense of self, and your clarity of purpose, get out of balance. It's like you're no longer the hero in your own story; at times like these, you need a rewrite. A growing body of research suggests we are guided by a core narrative that acts as a key source of personal motivation, drive and action. What holds you back as a senior leader isn't a lack of skills or knowledge, but a narrative that is frozen in time. When your leadership stalls, it's a sign that your story has taken you as far as it can - and it's time to write a new one. In this transformative guide to leadership development, executive coaches and leadership experts Rick Lash and Christine Miners illuminate how your internal narrator acts as the operating system of your mind. Like any OS, it can become outdated and overstretched, because it was mainly installed in your teens and early 20s. Through engaging stories, research-backed insights, and techniques, you'll gain the tools to re-engage and update the story that you tell yourself, so you can operate at a higher level. As you edit and upgrade your internal narrator, you'll develop a personal story that is more grounded and anchored in your true self: one that is less fragile, more resilient, and able to withstand the relentless pressures of leadership - and life.
