Some leaders run into a glass ceiling on their potential because they either ignore or accept their blind spots. Other leaders run themselves ragged, trying to be all things to all people. But the world today is too complicated for executive specialists, and real life makes it impossible to be omni-competent. So what's the solution?

In The Complete Leader, author and executive coach Stephen Graves paints a revealing portrait of what today's leaders must become. The Complete Leader works to develop competence where he is weak and discover competence where it comes naturally. Graves frames 7 collective qualities to direct the Complete Leader, challenging leaders to harness and lean into the power of "And.". The goal is not natural leadership, but effective leadership. The aspiration is to become the complete leader not the perfect leader.
