Focus on: Leadership

Your greatest strength as a leader is not based on what you do, but who you are — your values, your vision, your purpose. In this issue, we offer advice and programs that will help you to refine your vision as a leader and prepare you to lead with a greater sense of purpose. We also invite you to join a research advisory panel with Wharton faculty, and we recommend summer reading on a range of timely topics.
