Based on decades of research and practice at Wharton and worldwide, Total Leadership is a proven method for creating sustainable change as a leader in all parts of life. It’s designed for people at any level or career stage. You explore what and who matter most and then innovate by pursuing real-world experiments to produce “four-way wins,” demonstrable results that are meaningful not only for your work, your family, your community, or your private self (mind, body, spirit), but for all these different domains. Forget “balance” and learn how to find harmony and better performance, throughout life.
