"With this new book, I want to provide a roadmap for the leaders of today and tomorrow to help in navigating their journeys with both purpose and balance."
Understanding the inner game versus the outer game
The Inner Game emphasizes the importance of effectively managing physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual energy as foundational elements for sustainable success in both business and life. It focuses on unlocking one's inner strengths, creating resilience, and finding purpose.
Understanding these fundamentals enable leaders to enhance their performance, maintain balance, and navigate the challenges of today's fast-paced environment. It allows them to fuel long-term growth and fulfillment.
The increased inner strength unlocks success in whichever Outer Game a leader chooses to engage. Within the text, Kleinfeld emphasizes common challenges like defining a winning strategy, flawlessly executing, high-performance team dynamics, and effective board and stakeholder management. Leaders are guided on how to create inspiring visions, build sustainable competitive advantages, and cultivate a collaborative culture that drives collective success.
By integrating insights from the Inner Game, leaders will learn how to constantly recharge – even in very little time – and refuel their Outer Game.
