What motivates great leaders to achieve their best? The need for "self-actualization"—to reach your highest potential—is the foundation for personal and organizational effectiveness. Based on the seminal works of Carl Jung, Abraham Maslow, David McClelland, and Viktor Frankl, Dr. William Sparks' groundbreaking new book shows how Actualized Leaders think, feel, and manage differently while providing practical strategies for developing a more actualized approach to leadership. The first research-based book to operationalize Abraham Maslow's highly influential theory on human motivation for leaders, the book cites nine thinking, feeling, and behavioral traits common to self-actualized leaders and gives readers an opportunity to develop these traits in themselves as they work through a unique and free self-assessment tool called the "Actualized Leader Profile" (http://www.alpfree.com). Features interviews with some of today's most respected and successful leaders including Cathy Bessant, voted "Most Powerful Woman in Banking" by American Banker and current Chief Operations and Technology Officer at Bank of America, Ally Financial CEO Jeff Brown, the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church the Most Reverend Michael Curry, and a Foreword by General Motors Chief Technology Officer Dr. Michael Arena.
