About the Book

A new model of leadership for today’s complex world.

Intentional Power is for leaders who believe their purpose is to use what power they have in service of something far greater than just their company’s bottom line.

The book documents the six behavioral dimensions of modern leadership with case studies from leaders across industries who are using these skills to deliver triple bottom-line impact for people, planet, and profits.

“Most leadership development builds awareness. Intentional Power builds the framework for something harder and more durable: an operating system.”
