  • Why people fall back into old patterns under stress
  • How your past shapes the way you lead and live today
  • Why success in midlife can feel empty and how to change that
  • What it really means to lead in chaos

ABOUT LEADING IN CHAOS

Book Overview: Nicholas Janni and Amy Elizabeth Fox’s forthcoming book, Leading in Chaos, argues that in an era of polycrisis and sustained uncertainty, leadership requires next practice — a fundamentally different inner operating system grounded in deeper human intelligence. It reframes leadership as an embodied, developmental practice, calling leaders to act with coherence, presence, and integrity amid ongoing disruption. Because, in their words, “chaos is the new black.”
