An instant Publishers Weekly and USA Today bestseller In Whole Leaders, Wild Trust, leadership expert Dr. Rob McKenna redefines what it means to lead in a world fragmented by broken promises, disconnection, and low engagement. Backed by research with thousands of leaders and organizations, this book reveals how trust is built, broken, and rebuilt—and why whole leader development is the key to sustainable performance and well-being. McKenna introduces his WiLD approach, a groundbreaking model that integrates personal growth, team dynamics, and organizational design. The result is a trust-building process that begins at the core of who we are and extends outward to reshape culture. Inside, you'll discover: Whether you're a seasoned executive, a parent trying to raise a future-ready leader, an emerging professional, or someone simply trying to lead well in your corner of the world—this is your roadmap to becoming a whole and trusted leader. You'll learn how to build teams that don't just function, but lead movements. It's time to stop reacting to broken trust—and start leading from it.
The future of leadership begins with trust—and it starts within
