Is your leadership a competitive advantage, or is it costing you? How do you know? Are you developing your leadership effectiveness at the pace of change?
For most leaders today, complexity is outpacing their personal and collective development. Most leaders are in over their heads, whether they know it or not. The most successful organizations over time are the best led. While this has always been true, today escalating global complexity puts leadership effectiveness at a premium. Mastering Leadership involves developing the effectiveness of leaders—individually and collectively—and turning that leadership into a competitive advantage. This comprehensive roadmap for optimal leadership features:
- Breakthrough research that connects increased leadership effectiveness with enhanced business performance
- The first fully integrated Universal Model of Leadership—one that integrates the best theory and research in the fields of Leadership and Organizational Development over the last half century
- A free, online self-assessment of your leadership, using the Leadership Circle Profile, visibly outlining how you are currently leading and how to develop even greater effectiveness
- The five stages in the evolution of leadership—Egocentric, Reactive, Creative, Integral, and Unitive—along with the organizational structures and cultures that develop at each of these stages
- Six leadership practices for evolving your leadership capability at a faster pace
- A map of your optimal path to greater leadership effectiveness
- Case stories that facilitate pragmatic application of this Leadership Development System to your particular situation
This timeless, authoritative text provides a systemic approach for developing your senior leaders and the leadership system of your organization. It does not recommend quick fixes, but argues that real development requires a strategic, long-term, and integrated approach in order to forge more effective leaders and enhanced business performance. Mastering Leadership offers a developmental pathway to bring forth the highest and best use of yourself, your life, and your leadership. By more meaningfully deploying all of who you are every day, individually and collectively, you will achieve a leadership legacy consistent with your highest aspirations.

From the Inside Flap
We wrote this book because, after a combined 60 years' of working with leaders on their development, we know there is a far better way to go about it. The current "state-of-the-art" of the Leadership Development field is not up to the task of developing leaders for the complex challenges we are facing now, let alone for the future.
We need leaders of greater effectiveness and integrity, mastery and maturity, courage and compassion, competence and character, consciousness and wisdom. We need those leaders now. Not only is complexity outpacing the development of effective and consciously competent leaders, but the world is facing a leadership crisis. Our collective welfare, organizationally and globally, depends on our ability to develop leaders that are up to the challenge of creating a thriving future for everyone.
Most of our approaches to developing leaders are inadequate. They are episodic, not systemic; individually focused, instead of individually and collectively focused; they are too often superficial, lacking the depth required for genuine breakthrough; and they are generally sponsored, not led, by top leadership. Add to this, that the field of Leadership Development is a random collection of unintegrated theory and research. As long as we continue to approach the development of leadership this way we will continue to fall short. We wrote this book to document how we have changed this and to raise the bar on how to develop great leadership.
In one compelling read, Mastering Leadership integrates the best theory, research and practice into the first Universal Model of Leadership to arise in the field. It radically shifts the understanding of extraordinary leadership and how to champion its development. It thoroughly describes the sequential stages of leadership mastery and maturity. It outlines six powerful practices that will reliably evolve your leadership, individually and collectively. As we unfold the Universal Model, chapter-by-chapter, we provide research that links all of this to measures of leadership effectiveness and business performance; metrics to assess your progress; and case studies to guide your own transformational success story. Research and case studies demonstrate the transformative capability of the Universal Model and demonstrate how to implement a systemic approach to the development of leaders and the Leadership System of your organization.
We wrote this book for all of us. For most of us in leadership, complexity is outpacing our rate of development. We are in over our heads whether we know it or not. We invite you to accelerate the development of your leadership effectiveness by taking The Leadership Circle Profile Self-Assessment that comes with this book. The assessment, which measures leadership effectiveness through the lens of the Universal Model, in combination with this book, is a complete leadership development system. Together, they take you on a deep dive into the terrain of transformation, yours and your organization's.
We need better leaders at all levels—men and women who create thriving futures, healthy cultures and competitive companies; who balance short-term profitability with long-term sustainability; who create a better world. Mastering leadership is now a strategic priority, a competitive advantage and a global imperative. By committing to this imperative you can:
- Develop through each stage in the journey of mastering leadership.
- Turn your leadership capabilities into a distinct competitive advantage.
- Cultivate leaders in your organization with a proven leadership development system.
- Infuse every business conversation with leadership guidance.
- And much more…
Mastering Leadership is a complete system for developing yourself, your team and your organization's Leadership System to maximize performance. It is our sincere hope that this book will support your leadership for life.
From the Back Cover
Praise for Mastering LEADERSHIP
"This is the definitive book on leadership principles and practices! Expansive and practical at the same time, Mastering Leadership is for forward-thinking leaders who want the most essential leadership lessons analyzed and presented in one astute place. Anderson and Adams' Universal Model synthesizes everything that leadership theory thus far has to offer. Read it, apply its principles, and you witness the transformation in yourself and everyone in your circle!"
— Marshall Goldsmith, Author of the New York Times #1 bestseller Triggers, Top-ranked Executive Coach, Author of bestsellers MOJO and What Got You Here Won't Get You There
"There is no shortage of information on leadership theory—Google will return over 15,000,000 results in .32 seconds. However, in their new book, Mastering Leadership, Adams and Anderson turn theory into practice by framing great leadership as a purposeful pursuit rather than a genetic anomaly. Their leadership model provides a well proven framework that allows leaders to assess their strengths and needs. Importantly, it also provides the practical knowledge and tools to enable a transition to greater effectiveness. This book should be a well-worn staple in every leader's '10 Essentials."
—John Mendel, Executive Vice President, Automotive, American Honda
"This is not a book written for bedtime reading. Its ideas need to be examined in the bright light of day and then…for the courageous…put into practice. The authors have very skillfully woven a tapestry with threads from extensive research, years of experience, philosophy, and metaphysics. The Leadership Circle Profile (LCP) and the Universal Model of Leadership (UML) are tools that empirically guide the reader on a journey of self-discovery and growth. Their application breeches the barriers of traditional thinking and carries the reader into the realm of Unity Leadership. The demands on today's leaders to produce high-performing and highly-productive organizations has never been greater. Therefore, understanding the correlation between business performance and leadership effectiveness has never been more important. This book helps leaders answer the question posed in one of the book's case studies: 'What would you do if you could?"
— Stephen Ewing, Chairman of the Board of AAA Michigan and ACG, Retired President and Chief Operating Officer of MCN Energy Group Inc., Retired Vice Chair of DTE Energy
"This book is a testimony that love and power and clear purpose can co-exist. It gives form and proof that leadership is a human function. You can define it, measure it, teach it, and yet, in the end, our capacity to be honest with ourselves and fulfill our promises to each other is decisive. The book offers the integration of mind and matter, depth and relatedness; rare combinations in the modern world of speed, convenience, and scale. Read the book. Put it under your pillow. Speak of it to others."
— Peter Block, Partner of Designed Learning and Author of Flawless Consulting: A Guide to Getting Your Expertise Used; Stewardship: Choosing Service Over Self-Interest; and The Empowered Manager: Positive Political Skills at Work

The Definitive Guide to Transformational Leadership
By Birdie
This 384 page work of art raises the bar on how we develop leaders globally and serves as a handbook for best practices for growing consciously competent leaders. As a leadership consultant and long-time practitioner of the Leadership Circle Profile, I have read and recommended a handful of books over the years such as What Got You Here Won’t Get You There and Servant Leadership. Bob and Bill’s book, however, cracks the code on leadership development by providing something that’s been profoundly missing in the leadership genre up until now.
At present, most books focus on a leader’s ability to master the outer game as the end game to generating effectiveness and results – the world of skills, strategy, competencies and behavior. This book posits that in the end what really matters is the mastery of the inner game – one’s level of consciousness or a "mature interiority" comprised of a leader’s beliefs, assumptions and wisdom - that drives the outer game. The structure of the mind actually determines performance. Period.
This book invites you to undertake the demanding and yes, messy and very personal journey of leadership transformation from the inside out. The author’s impart that this journey is not for the faint of heart and they are right. And, in fact, it is an imperative to individual and organizational health, and bottom line results. For those of you CEO’s who typically shy away from anything “touchy feely,” rest assured this book is not simply about the profound inner work of leadership, but highlights the importance of simultaneously maturing your executive leadership team to create alignment and deeper conversations that extract collective intelligence. Herein lies your real competitive advantage. And they can prove it.
The chapters are chock - full of compelling data and statistics, as well as beautifully relevant and illustrative personal stories. My favorite chapter is Spiritual Bootcamp and my favorite quote from the same chapter is in reference to following one’s purpose: “The soul is a jealous lover; it refuses to invest itself in a compromise.”
I suggest you NOT read this book if you:
• Are not interested in looking inward for answers
• Are not willing to take 100% responsibility for your life and leadership
• Believe that you have nothing to do with the present culture and overall health of your organization
• Believe that all the problems exist out there
• Desire a quick fix
In sum, Bob Anderson and Bill Adams are the real deal. Mastering Leadership is a very thorough, compelling, authentically written manifesto.
Tipping my hat,

This book delivers on the Promise of Leadership
By Tim Edris
Mastering Leadership is an important book in an ocean of leadership development literature. It ties together disparate theory work in a way that presents a coherent and actionable pathway forward, like few leadership books have. There are many theories on how to lead, with few offering the significant body of hard data that Anderson and Adams provide in this book. There is a saying in the business arena, that “If it is not measurable, it did not happen.” This book is a great balance between hard data and the art that leading is. It addresses the leadership soul in a data driven manner, while still finding time to incorporate poetry that resonates deeply within us.
This book can help the 21st century leader develop themselves to meet the challenges that our world is presenting us. For leaders today, the name of the game is leading from a framework that can handle the complex nature of the challenges we face. The universal framework presented in this book weaves the best thinkers on leadership of our time into a model that can help transform the ways we lead. This book is a challenging read, and so it should be. As a practitioner of leadership development, I believe this book challenges the status quo in our field. It presents a provocative message, and developmental pathways for people to develop into leaders our world needs – a must read.

An approach to developing leaders that might just save the planet!
By Dave Schrader, PhD
I can only imagine that when Bob Anderson and Bill Adams set out to write Mastering Leadership, they had little idea what they'd signed up for. Looking now at the finished product--at the intricacies of theory and experience woven together into this coherent tapestry--I’m convinced that I’m seeing a masterwork of grand proportion. Everything is in there, and is laid out in an overarching structure that takes the reader somewhere. It’s not a stew; it’s more like a seven-course meal. (Oh, and the dessert! That last chapter!). The work of weaving to draw together the threads of insight from a lifetime of practice and hard-earned wisdom, and then translating it all into an accessible, interesting—even fascinating—story must have seemed to be an overwhelming challenge at times. Kudos to the authors for persevering!
In the roughly twenty-five years that I’ve worked in the same field as Anderson and Adams, I’ve read many of the same books and wrestled with the application of theory to practice; however, the synthesis of it all has remained, for me, a largely intuitive one. I have been able to teach and coach leaders using pieces-parts, but haven’t seen the systematic unfolding of it all. Until now. This book does it for me, and I predict it will for many others. I’m glad that Mastering Leadership exists, especially for the sake of younger practitioners (relative to me, that’s most of them!) who have time to build their practices on this scaffolding.
One of the highlights for me is the artful explication of the five levels of leadership: Egocentric, Reactive, Creative, Integral, and Unitive. Each of these reflect the melding of well-researched leadership theory with the latest in thinking about adult stages of development. This intersection of theoretical frameworks is what makes this book unique. The authors claim to have laid out a “Universal Model of Leadership” and this is why.
The four case studies are a terrific addition to the conceptual flow and personal stories that make up most of the book. They show the kind of business application and change processes that business and organization leaders will relate to and welcome.
Finally, the ultimate chapter on Unitive Consciousness is a brilliant piece of work! How does one use words to talk about something that is ultimately pre- or post-linguistic? The whole concept is “out beyond ideas,” and doesn’t lend itself to description—only experience. It’s vital to have it in the book as the capstone, but I’m glad it was a short chapter, because to go long on this topic might lose some readers; as it is, I think it’s a satisfying taste test (with just a soupçon of “mind cramp” tossed in!).
All in all, this is a seminal book that will shape the field of leadership development for decades to come.
