Overview
Leading in Chaos is a bold new leadership book from Nicholas Janni and Amy Elizabeth Fox, two internationally respected voices in leadership development and transformational change. Written for executives, consultants, and changemakers navigating a world defined by uncertainty and disruption, the book challenges conventional leadership frameworks and calls for a deeper, more embodied way of leading. Drawing on decades of coaching senior leaders and teams worldwide, Janni and Fox offer a compelling vision for what leadership must become in an age of polycrisis. This paperback edition is a timely read for anyone invested in meaningful organizational growth.

About the Book
Leading in Chaos argues that the turbulence, institutional fragility, and sustained uncertainty facing today's leaders cannot be solved with better tools or best practices alone. Instead, Janni and Fox propose what they call "next practice" — a fundamentally different inner operating system grounded in deeper human intelligence. Building on themes from Janni's acclaimed earlier work, the authors come together to explore how receptivity, humility, and the capacity to hold paradox can equip leaders to act with clarity and integrity amid ongoing disruption. Rather than presenting another methodology to master, the book reframes leadership itself as an embodied, developmental practice rooted in presence, awareness, and courage. Readers will find living practices and resonant real-world stories that illustrate how genuine transformation happens at the deepest level — not through surface-level tactics, but through a shift in how leaders show up, relate, and respond under pressure. The book speaks to a broad audience: senior executives steering organizations through disruption, consultants and coaches supporting leadership development, and anyone drawn to the intersection of personal growth and professional impact. With its blend of practical guidance and philosophical depth, Leading in Chaos invites readers to see chaos not as a temporary obstacle to be managed, but as the new, ongoing condition that leadership must learn to meet with grace, resilience, and wisdom. It is a book for leaders who sense that something more is being asked of them, and who are ready to answer that call.
