Changing on the Job, Second Edition: How Leaders Become Courageous, Wise, and Steady in an Anxious World

Leadership in today’s world isn’t about knowing all the answers—it’s about expanding our capacity to think, adapt, and lead through uncertainty. In Changing on the Job, Jennifer Garvey Berger offers a powerful framework for how leaders grow internally as their external challenges increase.

Through practical stories and developmental insights, Berger shows that the most effective leaders don’t just build new skills—they transform the way they make meaning. Her approach invites leaders to stay grounded, curious, and compassionate even amid complexity and anxiety.

What makes growth possible:

• Adaptive thinking turns uncertainty into a space for creativity and learning.
• Inner development becomes the foundation for sustainable, wise leadership.
• Courage and reflection help leaders stay steady when everything around them shifts.
