In True North: Emerging Leaders Edition, renowned leadership expert Bill George and Millennial tech entrepreneur Zach Clayton issue the challenge to emerging leaders—from Gen X to Millennials and Gen Z—to lead their organizations authentically through never-ending crises to make this world a better place for everyone.

The Emerging Leaders Edition is filled with stories from successful leaders such as Microsoft's Satya Nadella and Merck's Ken Frazier to PepsiCo's Indra Nooyi and General Motors' Mary Barra, and emerging leaders like OneTrust's Kabir Barday and Kanbrick's Tracy Britt Cool on how they overcame great challenges to build highly successful organizations.

The book offers concrete suggestions for: becoming an authentic leader, equipped to lead inclusively with moral clarity through challenges and crises; cultivating regular introspection to ground yourself with self-awareness, live your values, and use your unique strengths; integrating all aspects of your life—including who you are at home, at work, and in the community; understanding how Millennials are leading more effectively in today's world; being an inclusive leader prepared to take on fraught issues like stakeholder challenges, racial and sexual equality, and sexual misconduct; and knowing when—and how—leaders should speak out on today's complex public issues.
