The Five Graces of Life and Leadership

Gary Burnison is CEO of Korn Ferry and the author of The Five Graces of Life and Leadership

We’re seeing more change today than in the past 10 years—and amid it all, people are turning to leaders for help and hope.

And that takes grace.

Like truth, art, or love—grace is hard to define. But we know it when we see it.

And that’s where The Five Graces of Life and Leadership can help.

Each of the Five Graces captures a human trait that in the aggregate literally compose the word grace:

• Gratitude - that lifts our hearts and elevates our spirits
• Resilience - what makes the impossible possible
• Aspiration - we can make tomorrow different and better than today
• Courage - not having “no fear,” but rather to “know fear”
• Empathy - meeting others where they are to understand who they are

In this book, you will find the grit and grace to work with and through others, with greater empathy and deeper appreciation. After all, success is measured by what others achieve.
