From The Publisher:

Leadership is Personal "Let it be a place of comfort and serenity in times of turmoil and disquiet, a catalyst for uplifting your spirits when you experience uncertainty and doubt, and a setting for readying yourself to make a difference." From the Introduction Time to reflect. Space to dream. A place to find inspiration. In our hectic lives, these are often skipped, bumped by the next deadline or our out-of-control to-do list. Reminding us of the importance of personal introspection to leadership development, James M. Kouzes and Barry Z. Posner have created a journal for contemplation a visible reminder of the need for time, space, and place along your leadership adventures.

The authors engage you in an internal dialogue guided by their Five Practices of Exemplary Leadershipandreg; model (Model the Way, Inspire a Shared Vision, Challenge the Process, Enable Others to Act, Encourage the Heart). They urge you to take notes, make comments, draw pictures, ask questions, contemplate answers, or just mediate. As the joys and struggles of leadership rise to the surface of your consciousness, lessons will come to light, opportunities will appear, and your personal path will brighten.
