The Journey to Greatness: And How to Get There!

benShea explores what constitutes greatness, highlights all the way stations that we may all encounter on our own unique journeys, and aligns the journey to leadership and learning. Organized topically around "way stations" or stops along the way, benShea first challenges readers to identify the areas in which they have strengths and weakness, encouraging the reader to work through the book accordingly. "Way stations" include the following: Knowing little/fear, Observation and self-witnessing, learning, responsibility, communication, culture and climate, change and resiliency, personal growth, empowerment, handling adversity, and embracing opportunity, among others.

benShea concludes by encouraging the reader to celebrate achieving the journey to greatness, but not to presume that learning ever stops or the journey ever ends. "Greatness is like the horizon - it retreats as you approach it." Greatness, too, is more how we travel than where we travel, a process, not an arrival.
